Book-A-Librarian

Our Book-A-Librarian service provides one-on-one assistance for more in-depth research questions. Your scheduled meeting with a librarian can take place either in-person at the library, in-person at another location on campus, or online through screen sharing. 

During a Book-A-Librarian session, we can help you:

• navigate and locate library resources, such as finding articles in databases and searching for print and electronic materials in the library's catalog
• find helpful citation resources
• learn to use various software (check each librarian's profile for "technology skills")
• learn introductory computer skills
