Don’t know how to find company reports? Can’t find an obscure 16th-Century Serbian poet? Did you find too many articles for your research paper on “food”? Can’t figure out the hanging indent in Word? Don’t fret, the librarians are here to help!<\/p>\n

Each of your librarians is a trained expert in finding information, understanding sources, and developing manageable research topics. You might even say that we’re trained in the ancient art of the “information ninja”. From understanding the mystical art of “peer-review” to slicing our way through databases, we know all the tricks, and we’re always willing to take on new students. \u00a0\"Information<\/a>
\nBut, don’t worry, we’re nowhere near as secretive as real ninjas. Just punch, kick, or flip on over to our Ask A\u00a0Librarian<\/a> page where you can chat with us, text us, e-mail us, call us on the phone, or get an appointment. And if you would rather talk face-to-face, we’ll be at the reference desk. Really, we’re about as available as we can possibly be, which may explain why we had more than 14,000 requests for help last year!<\/em> So, whether you need a quick lesson in citing your sources, or in-depth help developing your research paper…enter the library.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
