During the spring and fall semesters, Research Assistants are available on a drop-in basis or by appointment in the Learning Commons (Wells Library, West Tower, 1st floor). Research Assistants include librarians and graduate students specializing in library science who offer in-depth, one-on-one consultations at any stage of the research process. This can include identifying a research topic, creating a search strategy, navigating library resources, and evaluating information and resources.
