The Undergraduate Engagement Department provides one-on-one help during extended evening hours for undergraduate students working on research assignments that require finding, evaluating, using, and citing credible information sources. We’re dedicated to helping students become better researchers and are here to help at any stage of the research process.
Evening Research Assistance is available Sunday–Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m. located at the Just Ask Desk on the first floor of the Main Library.
We are open during regular semester hours and closed during Winter and Summer break.
Drop-in or schedule an appointment.
If you need research assistance outside of those hours, there are always librarians happy to help.
