Research Assistance

By now, many of you have already been to the library and utilized a number of its resources. But at this point in the semester, you may not have had to do any research. You may ask yourself, "Where can I get assistance finding the materials I need to do my paper?!"? But fret not - help is available during much of the day right in the library!

To get research assistance, simply stop by the "Ask Here" desk, located just beyond the circulation desk when entering from the front of the library. If you have time and a reference librarian is available, you can get research assistance on the spot! If you would also like, you can set up a research consultation at a later date. Simply fill out a green "Research Consultation Information Form" (available at the Ask Here desk) and leave it with a librarian (you can also call 570-348-6264). A reference librarian will contact you to set up an appointment at your convenience (usually between 9 and 5). This appointment will generally last 30 minutes and involve guiding you through the varying methods of searching and acquiring sources.

Finally, you can simply e-mail via our convenient web form if you have general questions or need a quick answer or chat with a librarian online. Feel free to utilize some or all of the resources we have - help is as close as a few clicks away!
