The library isn’t just a place or stuff. It’s people here to help.

The Undergraduate Engagement Team has got you covered!

We specialize in meeting the unique needs of undergraduate students like you, and we're passionate about making your academic journey a little easier (and a lot less stressful). Think of us as your go-to guides for navigating the library, UNM campus, and beyond – no question is too big or too small, and we’re always happy to help. You may recognize us from visiting your classroom, hosting research clinics, or welcoming you to fun events. Don’t be shy! Come talk with us. Email us your questions to Email Contact
