Hello from your Personal Librarian!

My name is Julie Flanders, and I am a librarian here at Mount St. Joseph University. I'm so glad you have decided to attend our wonderful university!

My background is in the humanities and social sciences but I am ready and able to help you research any topic.

I am also a writer and I have had three novels published, so I'm always happy to talk about writing and books. Finally, I'm an animal lover, an avid walker, and an obsessive sports fan. I'm looking forward to meeting and getting to know you!

What is the Personal Librarian Program?

The Personal Librarian Program is designed to introduce Mount St. Joseph University students to the resources and services of the Mount Library. Each student is matched with a Mount Librarian who can provide consultations on any academic research or library service.

How can I help you?

I will:

• Teach you how to develop search strategies for finding information for your class research projects and papers
• Provide guidance when you don’t know where to start your research or are unsure what to do next at any step in the research process.
• Show you tools & resources that will answer your questions about citing information
• Answer questions about Library policies and services
• Keep you informed about new resources and services
• I will also refer you to appropriate services outside the Library for things not covered by the Personal Librarian Program (e.g., The Writing Center, Technology Help Desk, etc.).

How to contact me?

Any time you would like to talk about your research projects or any library related questions, feel free to email, telephone, or set up an appointment:
