Subject Librarians

Subject specialists

The Taylor Institution Library has subject specialists for individual languages, linguistics, film studies and women's studies, who are happy to help with subject-specific enquiries.

Subject librarians can give you advice on library resources, databases, and how to conduct good searches for literature reviews. We buy books and electronic resources for the library and are happy to receive your recommendations. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch – email is best as many subject librarians work part-time.
