Research Assistance
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. We are available via e-mail, phone, in-person, and video conference (via Zoom). To make an appointment, contact:
- Rhonda Courtney for ODY Library
- Paul Doty for Special Collections and Archives
- Gwen Cunningham for Launders Science Library
- Avery Olearczyk for ODY Library
- Eric Williams-Bergen for Digital Scholarship, Collections, and Services
Consultations can be scheduled for anytime weekdays during the academic semester, and usually last fifteen to twenty minutes.
