Ask a Librarian!
Librarians can point you in the right direction for your research, show you the best databases for the topic you’re researching, and offer citation help. If you ever have a question about your research or the library, please Ask a Librarian! You can send us a quick chat with any questions you may have, or you can schedule an in-person or virtual meeting with a librarian to work together on your research. We love researching, and we enjoy working with graduate students, so we hope to hear from you soon!
