During peak periods of the semester, students may sign up for a half-hour appointment with a librarian who will help refine and focus research inquiries, identify appropriate online and print tools, and develop search strategies for print and digital resources. Sign up for a same day appointment at the Doe Reference Desk (Floor 2) during the hours of availability. Sign ups begin @ 9a.m.

You may always start your research by seeking reference assistance at the reference desk in Moffitt or Doe Library.

Graduate students and faculty may contact the library liaison to their respective department or program for specialized reference consultations.
