Research Consultations

Need individual help for a research project? Set up an individual research consultation with a librarian! A research consultation includes one-on-one help from a librarian, answering your specific questions and showing you the best sources for your research needs.

Setting up a Research Consultation

  1. Contact your Subject Librarian via email or phone! Not sure, who your subject librarian is? Contact the Reference Desk and a reference librarian will point you in the right direction
  2. Inform your librarian of your research needs. Tell us about your project, what types of information you need, when is the due date, etc.
  3. Confirm a date and time for your research consultation. Note: Try to give your librarian at least 2 days to prepare for the consultation.

Getting to Know the Library: A Workshop for New and Transfer Students
Where can I find books and journal articles? How do I choose the right database for my research topic? Can I access library resources from home? What if the library does not have the materials I need for my research? Do these questions apply to you? Join a librarian to learn the answers to these questions and more at one of the workshop times listed below. Each workshop will last about one hour. Reservations are not required.
