A research consultation is a scheduled appointment with a librarian to review library sources and search strategies for locating information for a thesis, paper or project. To schedule an appointment, complete and submit this form, and a librarian will contact you to establish a time. Please allow at least 48 hours notice for the appointment.
Library instruction can help your students through the information explosion. Classes are individually designed to support your course objectives and/or student assignments. The presentations are usually 50-90 minutes long and emphasize search methodology in print and electronic resources. Sessions may include hands on use of materials and computers. If desired, a course-specific guide can be created if you make your request far enough in advance.
Use this form to suggest that the library acquire a specific journal, but before doing so, please check the Library’s Print & E-Journals A-Z list to see if we already own the title.
Because a journal subscription requires annual re-payment and is sometimes expensive, the library will process your request differently than it does for a book. Your suggestion will be routed to a library liaison assigned to develop collections in the subject matter of the journal. The liaison will decide whether or not to submit a more detailed request to the Serials Review Committee (SRC), based on the appropriateness of the subject matter to the collection. The SRC considers some requests immediately, but most often stockpiles them for deliberation around Spring term break, when it has a better picture of the library materials budget. Journal subscriptions begin in January and run through December, so if your request is accepted, it will be fitted into that cycle.
This form is for Faculty & Staff use only.
