Our calendar fills up, so schedule early! Read our Library Instruction page for more details. Contact the Public Services Librarian with questions or to schedule a session.
Our librarians can work with you to develop research assignments. Whether it's brainstorming, giving feedback, or developing help tools or guides, we are always happy to help.
