| Appointment |
Who is my librarian? To meet with a librarian for the subject or department of your research, please find the liaison librarian in the list and contact her for an appointment. Librarians are available to meet for one-on-one research consultations. This provides in-depth, personalized instruction to assist with search strategies, identifying resources, and citations. Schedule an appointment with a specific librarian: Liz Kielley https://calendly.com/ekielley/student-meeting Students, faculty, and staff may schedule an appointment with a librarian for one-on-one assistance in finding relevant information for research papers and other projects. A research consultation may include guidance on how to use the Library's many resources, in print and online. Consultations can take place in person, by phone, or by web conference. |
Expected response time
Weekdays: A librarian will try to respond as quickly as possible, sometimes immediately and usually within a few hours.
Evenings, Weekends, Holidays, University breaks, and Summers: While librarians often check for emailed questions, it may take a little longer (up to 24 hours) to respond.
