Library Support for Research

Night Owls is all about taking breaks and de-stressing during finals, but remember that the Library is here for you when you need to buckle down to work or get some help with your research! Below are some resources to help you successfully tackle your final projects.

Are you stuck in your research? Not sure where or how to search? Not sure how to focus your topic, or where to start? Our librarians are here to help! Make an appointment with a librarian and get face-to-face help with your research, customized to your topic and question.
