The Instruction Services Division provides library research and reference services for Berkeley's undergraduates. You can book research help appointments with us - find us under general undergraduate & media and making.
L&S Mentors are current UC Berkeley PhD students who work with College of Letters & Science undergraduate students in the STEM, humanities, interdisciplinary, and social science fields. They offer pre-scheduled or drop-in mentoring sessions, and topic-focused small group discussions called Mentoring Hubs.
This cohort driven program promotes peer-to-peer learning and mentorship opportunities with the shared goal of improving Berkeley Library services and spaces. Fellows receive training in different aspects of librarianship, from user experience and design thinking to research and instruction. Using this knowledge, fellows are expected to foster connections between the Library’s ecosystem and undergraduate communities by prototyping peer-to-peer services developed in teams. Fellows are empowered to become library champions and contribute to the vision for the Center for Connected Learning.
