We are experts at finding information that is solid and authoritative, just as is required for most class projects. There are many ways to reach the reference librarians -- in the computer area on the main floor of the library; online through chat or email; and through texting (better for short questions). You can even make an appointment to meet for one hour with a librarian to focus on your research needs -- this is called a research consultation. All of the ways to reach us are available through this link: <a href="/research-help/consultation" title="Schedule a Research Consultation">Schedule a Research Consultation</a>.
