Reference

Have a question you can’t answer? Don’t have the time to do a literature search? Having difficulty with doing your own searches? Why not call an expert? The reference librarians can help you. Visit us Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or set up a consultation by calling x2522 (or 342-2522 from the E&R Building).
