RIAs: Research & Information Associates at Swarthmore

Research and Information Associates (RIAs) assist fellow students with finding and evaluating information. A RIA can help you get started with a research project, clarify your topic, and find and cite sources. They can connect you to research librarians, SAMs, Writing Associates, and other resources for further consultation. By working with a RIA, you’ll learn about resources available from the libraries and how to make the most of them.
