Reference Services
Expert librarians are available to assist with research projects or questions. They can help locate information, develop research strategies, and identify appropriate sources, both print and digital. Librarians cannot give legal advice but can direct you to materials that may help you answer your legal questions. For in-depth questions, please schedule an appointment with one of our librarians in advance.
