Librarians are also partnering with students writing senior theses and dissertations, with an increasing number of academic departments requiring an interview with a librarian as a formal part of the thesis and dissertation process. Our librarians are also pushing beyond the boundaries of the Yale libraries to place themselves wherever their services are needed, including open office hours in academic departments, the Hall of Graduate Studies, inside the residential colleges, and throughout the network of Yale-New Haven Hospitals. When the physical distance cannot be overcome, our librarians can bring instruction to students virtually.

The Center for Science & Social Science Information, which opened in January 2012, had nearly 234,000 visitors in its first 18 months, with 167 instructional sessions.
