One of the most important things to know about research is how to get help! Here are some of the ways you can reach a librarian.

  1. Contact your course librarian Sara (sklein10@ccc.edu) or Library department chair Katie (kediger@ccc.edu)
  2. Go to the library's website, and:
    • use the Library's chat service if you need help more quickly. Click on the Chat with a Librarian button, or click on the button on the right of this page (a speech bubble with 3 dots in it), and a chat window will appear.
    • schedule an online research appointment. Appointments are 25 minutes long and can be done via video chat or in person, and they're great when you need in-depth help.
  3. Librarians are available in person during our open building hours. Stop by the Research Desk in L625 at any time!
