Individual or Small Group
RESEARCH CONSULTATIONS
by Appointment

What is a research consultation?
A research consultation is a scheduled appointment where you or a small group can discuss web and library research assignments with a reference librarian. During the consultation, the librarian will present time-saving strategies for finding information in both electronic and traditional formats and give instruction on their use. Let a reference librarian suggest books, periodicals, and web sites for your next research paper, speech or project.

Note
A consultation will not deal with the mechanics of writing your paper. This type of assistance is available in Instructional Support Services, Room 2415(DP) and Room A135(RHC).

How much time is required for a consultation?
Most appointments can be completed within a half hour. However, the actual amount of time depends upon your research requirements.
