Humanities and Social Sciences Reference
Welcome to Humanities and Social Sciences Reference! Most of the members of our unit are Reference Librarians, who represent a subject specialty and serve as a liaison for the research needs of different academic departments or schools on the UNT campus.
We also answer research or reference questions, assist with research, give research instruction classes, and maintain the Ask a Librarian service.
Our offices are located in the Willis Library, on the first floor in room 155. We also maintain the Reference Desk in the Willis Library, which is located just outside of our offices.
Research Assistance
We provide research assistance to UNT faculty, staff, students and the community. We answer short factoid questions to very involved research that is in support of the publishing endeavors of faculty and students.
*To get research assistance, go to the Ask a Librarian service and choose the way you would like to ask your question. Some of the choices are by chat, email, by phone, in person at our reference desk, or reference by appointment.

We provide research instruction classes at the request of an instructor for his or her class. The research instruction class focuses on the overall research needs of an entire class and or targets a specific assignment. The classes can scheduled by calling the reference librarian who represents the particular liaison subject specialty, or Frances May in User Education at (940)565-4812. A minimum notice of two weeks is required to schedule a class. Classes can be scheduled to take place in one of the libraries instruction rooms or the instructor's classroom.
