Research Help Appointments

For more in depth research help, you can arrange a one on one appointment with a professional Reference Librarian. Although we can not do your research for you, we can help you select databates to search, suggest search terms, develop a search strategy, assist you in analyzing search results, help determine if the library owns a resource, and identify other options for obtaining items. To set up a research consultation, you can call the reference desk at (920)465-2303 or use the Research Consultation Form.
