Schedule a Research Consultation
If you have lengthy or more comprehensive research needs, please consider scheduling an Research Consultation appointment with a reference librarian. This service is intended to give you some in-depth assistance in identifying and locating the resources most useful for your project. The outcome of a research consultation may be a database search, an overview of relevant electronic and print sources, or a conclusion to a particularly difficult inquiry.
A Research Consultation will require advanced preparation by a reference librarian; therefore we ask that you make your request at least three business days in advance. You may request an appointment online or in person at the Schaffner reference desk.
