Head of Instruction Librarian Emily Bufford: As a librarian, I mostly visit the classrooms of professors to teach students about the digital and physical library and explain information literacy; info lit is knowledge of how to find, evaluate, share, use, and create information in a responsible way. Contact me for help researching in any subject, but my specialty areas are XCOR, Philosophy, and English. [email protected]
