Volunteer

As the title suggests, this volunteer assists the researcher in mapping out a logical strategy for using the Library's vast resources. The Researcher Guidance Volunteer (RGV) seeks to organize the new researcher's initial forays throughout the Library's sprawling campus. The RGV counsels the novice researcher on a convenient route to the appropriate reading room. The RGV is not trained to focus on research projects but rather to assist the reader by answering questions of a strategic nature, and by allaying apprehensions.
