Get Help from a Reference Librarian

We are Librarians. We know the answers to questions you didn't even know to ask.

 

Need books, journal and/or magazine articles?  Don't know where to start?

A reference librarian can guide you through the research process.

We can help you:

  • Determine how many and what types of resources to use,
  • Choose the most appropriate database for your topic, and
  • Construct a keyword search that best describes your topic and therefore produces good results
