Library Consultation Service

The JPL Library has initiated an expanded formal program focusing on customer outreach within the JPL community. The purpose of this program is to contact JPL researchers and technologists to introduce ourselves, to learn about the research needs of the various organizations, and to discuss the many ways in which the Technical Reference Librarians can assist JPL scientists and engineers.

The Technical Reference Librarians also have education and experience in technical and scientific disciplines in addition to a graduate professional library degree. This expertise is especially useful when 1) performing customized literature searches that focus on an individual customer's specific needs; 2) preparing current awareness searches, regular, monthly updates based on customer profiles relating to specific areas of interest, and 3) helping analyze related scientific and technical information content.

The Librarians can meet with you on an individual basis, or give presentations at group, project, section, or division meetings. You are also welcome to visit the Library, and receive a personal tour of the facility, or join weekly employee orientations to the Library and its services given on Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. in the Technical Library, Building 111-West, Room 104.
