Reference librarians have a Masters Degree in library science, and many have other graduate degrees as well. Reference librarians at the Libraries of The Claremont Colleges provide assistance at the reference desk and by appointment. You may self-renew library materials through Blais, or you may telephone or come in to the Circulation Desk in any of the Libraries. Some professors ask that materials which will be used extensively by students in their classes be held in a special reserve location. In our four Libraries, reserves are adjacent to the Circulation Desk.
Some materials are also available through electronic reserve.
