Need research help? Schedule a research consultation!

The leaves on the trees are changing color. Starbucks is selling pumpkin spice lattes. And your professors are assigning research papers, reports, presentations, debates, annotated bibliographies, and more.

To schedule a research consultation, go to the library homepage, and click the Research Appointment link in the Ask us Anything box (in the lower left-hand corner of the page). It looks like this:

Don't wait until it's too late. Your paper that's due in December may seem like it's a long way off, but it'll be finals week before you know it. Schedule a research consultation today!
