About the Reference Department

The University of Haifa Library Reference Department mediates between users and the information they need. The Reference librarians help users search for information, and give them support as they cope with the complexity of information retrieval. We encourage and assist users in independent and efficient use of catalogs, databases, and Internet resources.

Formal instruction and courses given by the Reference Department increase the users' information literacy, enabling them to function successfully in the library context.

The electronic and printed reference collections include tools and resources which assist the users in satisfying their information needs.

Help is available at the Reference Desk during all library opening hours.
