If you are on campus and cannot find the information you need, go first to the Information Desk in the Library. This desk is staffed all the hours the library is open with a professional Librarian. Librarians at this desk are waiting to help you with any part of the research process.

If your database searches are not successful, we have provided simple search tips, as well as active tutorials.

If you still cannot find what you need, send us an email and we will try to help you.
Please note: the Virtual Librarian is a real person and is not available 24 hours a day.
There will be times when your email may take a day or two to be answered. Please be patient!
Your email will be answered once the Virtual Librarian has found the answer to your question.
