Librarians are experts in suggesting where to search, identifying appropriate keywords, and navigating search results. In short, we can help you complete research assignments. This video from Northeastern Illinois University explains it well: Who are librarians and what do they do?
During the semester, we are at the desk Monday–Thursday 10am–3pm and on chat until 4:30. Fridays we are at the desk 10–2. Weekday mornings we are usually available before 10am; ask the staff member at the desk to see a librarian. If it's not Fall or Spring semester, we're still available; again, ask at the desk.
You can also use Reserve a Librarian to make an appointment, or contact us via chat or email (askus@uwp.edu). Email is your best bet outside of weekday business hours; we will respond no later than the next business day (often sooner).
Librarians can help you identify when you need to talk to your professor for clarification about an assignment. It's up to you to do searches and select the resources you need to complete your assignments. If you need help with writing or other subjects, see the tutors in the PARC or NetTutor.
