Get In Touch With A Librarian

Need to get in touch with a librarian? Have a question? Want to schedule a library lab? Here are some links to help.

Request a Library Lab
A library lab is a research consultation, an opportunity for a student or a small group of students to meet with a librarian and discuss an academic research project. Soon after you submit a lab request, a librarian will contact you to set up a day and time to meet. During this meeting, the librarian will teach you useful research skills and strategies, such as how to identify and use relevant print and electronic resources. Whenever you have a challenging research question or problem, that’s the time to request a library lab.
