Librarians are available to meet with you one-on-one for a research consultation. A research consultation is basically a private appointment to talk with a librarian about finding resources, sources, and specific research questions in that area. After answering a few questions, we will determine which librarian is best fit to help with your particular need. To request a consultation, complete a simple form here: https://www.lib.uiowa.edu/research/consultations/. 

At Main Library, we provide evening research assistance 5pm-9pm Sundays through Thursdays.

Bring your assignment in or your research ideas and we will sit down with you to discuss the basics of where to start looking for sources using Library databases or help you locate credible online sources. You can ask about citations, where to find newspaper sources, scholarly articles, and more. 

Drop-in or schedule an appointment, in-person or virtual from Sundays through Thursday, 5:00PM - 9:00PM using our online calendar at uiowa.libcal.com/reserve/seam.
