Talking with a librarian is a great way to learn more about:

• Doing research of all kinds. Want to find a few case studies? Looking for literary criticism? Wondering how to find statistics and information about your neighborhood? Whatever your interest, you can email/chat for suggestions and assistance!
• Finding scholarly articles using resources beyond Google!
• Locating books and other materials in our library, and in other libraries.
• Electronic books: the library has many e-books subscriptions!
• Library services & resources—whether citing your sources, streaming films, or watching video tutorials—we’re here to help!

Librarians want to help you become critical thinkers and savvy searchers! Feel free to ask us about research techniques, strategies, and information in all its forms.
