Research Consultations

What is a Research Consultation?
A research consultation is a one-on-one appointment with a librarian for extensive, in-depth research assistance often tailored to a specific project or paper. During a research consultation, a librarian can help you formulate a search strategy, develop database searching skills, and broaden your search to include materials from other institutions and resources. Research consultations typically last between 30 and 60 minutes.
