Services & Resources for Students

This guide will help you learn about the library resources and services available to you as a student at Amherst. Use the menu on the left to learn more.

Schedule a research consultation with a research librarian by selecting “Make an appointment” in their profile box. You can also email them directly, or email us at library@amherst.edu for general questions or libcirc@amherst.edu for questions about your account.

Ask at the Reference Desk (via chat—click on the Mammoth!) 

Academic year hours for Research & Instruction Librarians:
Monday - Friday 11 am - 5 pm
(or whenever the Mammoth isn't skeletal)

and look for our Peer Research Assistants at the desk weeknights from 5-9p!
