of digitized texts, images, and sound recordings. Special collections,
among them, those in the Poetry Room in Lamont, the Theatre Collection,
and Houghton Library, only add to what they'll find online, on Lamont's
shelves, or in the vast stacks of Widener.
Concentrators will also discover that the College Library is staffed with
people who offer undergraduates research support and the benefit of their
considerable subject expertise. Many Harvard librarians have
long-standing and close working relationships with academic departments.
English is among them. I serve as the contact person--the official
"library liaison"--from Widener to students in the Department. Your
advisee will likely meet me first in English 10a, as a sophomore; we'll
work again, more closely, in junior tutorial and during the thesis
writing project in senior year.

When Earth and Planetary Sciences concentrators need information, they
often turn first to a database called GeoRef. GeoRef is available from
the Harvard Libraries E-Resources page
(http://lib.harvard.edu/e-resources); students can also link directly by
using this URL: http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:hul.eresource:georefxx.
An especially rich and deep database, GeoRef allows you to search the
contents of more than 3500 geoscience journals from all over the world.
It also cites books, conference papers and reports, master's theses and
dissertations in geology and its sub-fields. Concentrators will also find
that the ability to search for maps in this database is a real boon to
their research.
