Research Consultations/Reference Assistance

Are you working on a class assignment? Are you trying to find information for a research project? Do you need help with citing sources or getting started on projects? Please feel free to contact the Library Director, Julie Peters, jpeters@smlr.rutgers.edu to schedule a research consultation. Research consultations can cover how to start a research project, finding the most effective search strategy, using features of Microsoft Office products such as Word and Excel, and/or any other question you might have regarding finding and using information.

Feel free to drop in as well. There will always be a staff member in the Library willing to assist you with your research and information needs.
