51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø Writing Center new service: Embedded Research Librarian
March 31, 2025
The 51·çÁ÷¹ÙÍø Writing Center has launched a new partnership to strengthen support for students engaged in research-based writing. Drake Jesse, visiting assistant professor of library science and instruction librarian, is now available for one-on-one research consultations directly in the Writing Center.
Drake provides expert guidance at any stage of the research process — from developing research questions to locating and evaluating credible sources. He is available for drop-in consultations on Mondays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students may also schedule appointments, either in person or via Zoom, at .
Faculty are encouraged to refer students to this service, especially those working on end-of-semester research projects or graduate theses and dissertations. This is a valuable opportunity to connect students with personalized, research-focused support — right where they write.
