Research Consultations
(BY APPOINTMENT OR DROP-IN: YOU ARE WELCOME AT ANY TIME!) :)
What is a research consultation and why would I want one?
A research consultation is a meeting (either virtual or face to face) with a research librarian to help you find sources for projects/papers requiring research.
I already know what I’m doing, how would a Research Consultation benefit me?
- A research librarian will help you explore your idea to see how it will work for your assignment
- Research librarians will help ensure your research is on the right track
- A research librarian can serve as a soundboard for your ideas to help you focus on a singular topic
Research Librarians can assist with the following common snags (and more):
-
Already have a solid idea but just need more resources?
-
Stuck and unable to find resources when you know there is a lot of information?
-
Google is giving lots of results, but your professor doesn’t like the articles or they aren’t credible?
-
Not sure about your exact topic, but you have a general idea?
-
Not sure what resources you need for an assignment?
Have your sources, now you need help with writing your paper?
The Writing Center can help you!
