Research Services Coordinators (RSC)

RSC is piloting a new model!

Research services have evolved over the last eight years. The services and associated expertise are more nuanced and granular, and this expertise is more dispersed across the Libraries. The Research Services Coordinators propose leveraging this distributed expertise through a self-service triage model in which individuals can self-select to participate in supporting their colleagues in the ways that align with their capacity and preferences. This will create a more flexible approach that surfaces a broader range of expertise from various individuals, rather than localizing it within specific groups. 

Learn about the expertise of your colleagues, or share your own expertise!

Please note: 

  • RSC retains the right to modify any submissions to the form for clarity and appropriateness. 
  • Please do not refer researchers directly to any colleagues without confirming with that colleague first. 
  • All individuals have the right to decline consultations or other requests at their discretion.
