Research Consultation

Do you need specialized help finding information?

Here at the Snow College Libraries, we offer research consultation services for students, faculty and staff.  A Research Consultation is a detailed, customized, one-on-one meeting with a library staff member to discuss possible information resources and search strategies for class assignments, papers, and presentations.

The librarian will point out potential information sources, teach you about applicable databases and discuss advanced searching techniques and retrieval methods for a specific subject.  We cannot do assignments, but we can give advice on choosing resources, finding appropriate search terms and developing successful search strategies. Research consultations can be scheduled by appointment, or you can just come on by—if librarians are on hand they will help you (subject to availability).  Call 283-7363 to schedule an appointment. 

Most research consultations will take place at the library, though some can occur via telephone, email or our chat service.  For more information on these services, see our Ask A Librarian page.
