Reference and Research Advice

Do you want help answering a question, starting (or completing) a research project, using library databases and the World-Wide-Web, citing sources?

Librarians are at the Reference Desk in Robert Frost Library, in the branch libraries, and in Archives & Special Collections to offer personal assistance in using all library resources. You may contact us through chat, e-mail a brief reference question, make an individual appointment with a librarian for more in-depth research planning, or simply telephone (x2319 for Frost Reference; x8112 for Science; x2667 for Music; x2299 for Archives & Special Collections).
