Making it to Midterms with Yale Divinity Library

Can you believe that we are almost midway through the semester? This month’s newsletter highlights library services to get you to midterms. Library Lessons introduces resources to get you started on your final papers and projects. A calendar of library events follows.

Spotlight on Reference and Instructional Services

Did you know that Yale Divinity Library can assist you with research? It’s true. We can track down that mysterious citation. Or find you that book or journal article on the obscurest of topics. Or search Yale’s expansive archives for relevant primary sources. We stand ready to support your endeavors at any stage of the research process, whether a vague idea for a paper or a ready-to-publish article.

Suzanne Estelle-Holmer

Suzanne serves as Yale Divinity Library’s chief reference and instruction librarian. She meets with YDS students to answer their research questions. No question is too oddball or too basic. “Some of the simplest questions are the most profound,” Suzanne notes. She loves hunting down that perfect source for a student working on a paper. “I often feel a bit like a kid in a candy shop when I dive into our collection,” she adds with a laugh. And no one knows our collection like Suzanne. She buys all the library’s books!

If you don’t happen to run into her hiking Sleeping Giant, you can find Suzanne in the Trowbridge Reference Room, which features a collection of curated materials that support research. Visit Suzanne to chat about all things research, or maybe her experience with gardening, and Biblical Hebrew!
