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/.
