Research Consultations are live, one-on-one sessions that provide in-depth, high-level, and customized research assistance with a reference librarian. These sessions are NOT meant to provide basic library navigation and searching skills. Research consultations are most beneficial for students who have a clearly identified research topic and have already done significant research on their own.
Research Consultation Areas of Assistance:
Below are our current one-on-one session offerings. Each one-on-one offers a specific type of assistance. Please review them thoroughly and if you need assistance deciding which session would be best for you, speak with a Library team member through our Ask Us! page.
For questions or assistance with assignment interpretation or specific requirements, please speak with your course instructor.
