Waterbury Campus Library

Engaging and Empowering Students in the Research Process

We regularly help students with their research through individual consultations. Schedule a one-on-one meeting with a research librarian at the Waterbury Campus! Appointments are available in-person or virtually. For immediate, 24/7 help, connect with our online chat service.

We can help you with…

  • refining your research question

  • establishing what the best information sources are for your research

  • identifying effective search terms

  • learning what various search tools can do, and how they work

  • exploring different kinds of information and if they benefit your research

  • tracking how your research questions change through the course of research

  • getting access to specific materials you have trouble locating

When is a Good Time to Meet with a Librarian?

The short and sweet answer is ANYTIME!

Maybe you have an idea for a research project, but you haven’t started yet -- or, don't know where to start. Maybe you’ve started, but you’re stuck. Maybe you have a quick research question . . . or, a complicated one. Maybe it's the last minute, and your research needs a boost. When in doubt, just make an appointment!
