Research Assistance

Reference librarians are available to help with research and to recommend appropriate print and electronic resources. The Pollak Library provides a range of research assistance services both in-person and online. Subject librarians are available to support every major and area of study on campus. Reference librarians provide help with using online databases, developing search strategies, and navigating library resources in support of campus research. Visit your librarians at the Research Center for drop-in assistance on the first floor of Pollak Library North. Chat online with a librarian 24/7 using the library’s chat service or schedule an appointment with your subject consultant for more in-depth, one on one help.

Reference Librarians can assist Pollak Library patrons with research through a number of methods to suit your schedule and preferences.
