Things We Can Help with:

• Refining a topic - collecting a working knowledge of your topic in order to expand or narrow
• Search strategies - sometimes the hardest part of research is finding the right combination of key words, operators, & filters. 
• Finding a book you can hold in your hands OR how to use one of the many ebooks
• Troubleshooting - sometimes the databases don't play nice with each other. We can help you get what you need.
