Research Support
Librarians are research experts and we're here to help you with all of your research questions, wherever you are in the process. We have guides for subjects and classes, tutorials to help you get started, drop-in services and scheduled appointments, and 24/7 chat to answer any questions, no matter when or where you're working.
Drop In
Stop by the Information/Checkout Desk on the 2nd floor of the library to talk to a librarian. Research Help is available Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. You can also call the desk at (707) 664-2375.
Appointment
Schedule an appointment with a librarian for a time that works best for you. We can meet virtually or in person. Appointment times are generally available during regular business hours.
Use our online form to send an email and someone will respond within 24 hours, Monday through Friday.
Chat
Chat with a librarian online, anytime, 24/7. (The librarian helping you might be from one of our partner libraries from around the world.)
Self-Directed Help
Research Guides
Our research guides will direct you to the best sources for whatever you're researching. You can find guides by subject or see if your course has a course-specific guide.
Tutorials
We have video tutorials to support you through every step of the research process and using library resources. Here are just a few to get you started. Check out our YouTube page for more.
Research Support for Faculty
The library is happy to provide research support for faculty, whether you're looking for sources or want more information about publishing opportunities and your intellectual property. We're here to support every stage of your research process. Check out our Faculty Research Support page or contact Rita Premo, Scholary Communications Librarian, with any of your research-related questions.
