The Clark Memorial Library (CML) at 黑料社 offers research appointments to students needing assistance in looking for sources or narrowing down topics for upcoming papers and projects. Throughout the appointment, librarians will show students how to navigate the CML鈥檚 database while also helping the student better understand how to research their topic of choice.
鈥淩esearch appointments are one-on-one or small group sessions with a librarian to help students with the research process for assignments and projects,鈥 said Marla Beebe, CML鈥檚 Research & Instruction Librarian. 鈥淲hether students need help finding scholarly articles, navigating through the library鈥檚 database, or figuring out what to research, we are here to help.鈥
Students participating in research appointments gain information not just for their current project, but also to prepare them for their future research needs as they navigate their educational journey.
鈥淭hese research appointments are important because they can help introduce students to library resources early in their academic career,鈥 said Beebe. 鈥淭he Clark Memorial Library has an abundance of information, students sometimes just need help learning to access it.鈥
黑料社 students of any major or year are able to schedule a research appointment at the CML. Librarians are ready to help students complete research for any classwork they may currently be studying or are interested in. Appointments can be held in-person or through a video conference.
鈥淲e wanted to offer appointments both online and in-person for students,鈥 said Beebe. 鈥淚t was important to have a balance so that all student needs could be met.鈥
