Research Help
As a preventive measure and following the guidance of public health officials, the University Library will be closed until further notice, effective Tuesday, March 17.
The Library is providing services and resources remotely – learn how to access them in our guide.
Subject librarians are available via email for your research questions or click the Chat icon on the bottom right corner of this page.
Thank you for your patience and patronage during this time of change!
We will continue to offer research assistance while the library building remains closed. Here are all of the ways you can receive research help remotely:
