Research Help

Research Consultations

Our research consultation program connects you with a librarian on the reference staff who can give you more extensive one-on-one help with a research paper or project. This help involves assisting you in assessing an assignment, devising a research strategy, and reviewing indexes and databases appropriate to the assignment. To make an appointment, contact:

• Rhonda Courtney and Paul Doty for ODY Library
• Mark McMurray for Special Collections and Archives
• Nicole Nawalaniec for the Launders Science Library
• Eric Williams-Bergen for Digital Collections and Services

Consultations can be scheduled for any time week days during the academic semester, and usually last fifteen to twenty minutes.
