Read below to learn about our librarian consultation services, the libraries' new mobile website, and resources that may pique your interest. As always, I am happy to help you and your students with any library concerns or suggestions that you may have.

Get personal research assistance with

"Book A Librarian"

USC students, faculty and staff who want help with their research can make an appointment for a free consultation service that provides a person-to-person session with a librarian. The sessions can help identify ways to access and navigate electronic resources; develop search strategies; discover and locate primary source materials; search the web for relevant and reliable information; and locate materials for a literature review.

Schedule a consultation.
