What happens when you meet with a librarian?

The research specialist will suggest resources (books, articles, primary sources, data sources, and more) and search strategies for your topic.
The research specialist may be a subject specialist who helps build the library’s collections and works closely with academic departments and programs.
You’ll get help with research at any academic level, from FWS assignments through to dissertations and faculty projects.
Examples include:
- Research paper (10 pages or longer), literature review, major presentation
- Thesis, dissertation, research project that will take longer than a semester
- Data-related project that involves finding or managing quantitative or qualitative data or GIS
- Help using citation management software such as Zotero and/or information management strategies and practices
