ULRC bridges the gap between quick questions at the service desk and the in‑depth guidance offered by subject librarians.

Your session begins with a brief, informal conversation about your project. From there, you’ll collaborate with a peer consultant to:

  • Get started with academic research.
  • Break down an assignment.
  • Explore topics and refine research questions.
  • Find, evaluate and cite sources.
  • Navigate library tools and online resources.
 If you need additional support, we’ll connect you with a subject librarian.
