How can we help you?

  • Student help

    Students interested in research support can book a meeting with a librarian to:

    • Find background information

    • Save time getting started with your research
    • Use the library’s collections as well as worldwide and web resources
    • Choose databases for discipline-focused research
    • Learn more efficient searching methods

  • Faculty help

    Librarians can partner with faculty on research and scholarship projects by:

    • Designing digital scholarship projects
    • Supporting citation management tools such as Zotero and RefWorks
    • Consulting on copyright questions
    • Building course-related research guides
    • Supporting data management
    • Purchasing materials for a class
