he PL web site consists of a general entry page where students can search for their PL, a profile page for each PL, and a list of all the PL's.Your Personal Librarian page consists of information specific to the PL program, and information that comes from your web profile (things like your office location). You can edit information for both.

Important to do:

Review the information on these pages for accuracy.

Add a personal greeting (if you don't already have one).

Upload a good photo, at least 600 pixels high by 800 pixels wide. Any problem with that please contact Kathleen.Bauer@yale.edu. We can help with taking a new photo.
