Schedule a research consultation

For students, faculty, and staff at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, the library has a new service available: Research Consultations. You can schedule to meet with a library staff member at your convenience using this online form.

What can you expect from a research consultation?

• assistance in selecting the best resources for your subject area
• strategies for searching specific databases
• help identifying and locating primary source materials
• developing research strategies
• help searching the web for relevant and reliable information
• explanations on how to gain access to materials held in other libraries

This service is available during normal business hours. Keep in mind that many research questions can be effectively answered at the McIntyre Library reference desk seven days a week without an appointment.

We look forward to working with you!
