Reference consultations

About consultations

Consultations will be provided online as staffing permits.

Curators have in-depth collection knowledge and a working knowledge of external disciplines and communities that use them. They provide personalized support to

  • refine your research question,
  • construct effective search strategies,
  • identify library resources to answer your question,
  • refer you to other specialists, guides, or resources, and
  • allow you to proceed with future research, building on a subset of resources.
