Schedule a Research Appointment With a Librarian

Did you know you can meet with a librarian (for free) and get assistance with your research? You can!  Did you know that your professors and instructors encourage you to do so? They do! You can utilize our research consultation service as frequently as you need, and we welcome repeat visitors! 

One 30-minute research consultation with a librarian can help you: 

  • Locate relevant and reliable resources for research projects and class assignments 
  • Identify scholarly and popular sources
  • Refine and revise research topics and questions
  • Learn how to search the UI Libraries' InfoHawk+ catalog, databases, and other resources 
  • And, more!
