Reference Desk
The reference librarians are available to provide research support for short-term projects on a first-come, first-served basis. The time frame for completion of projects will be established with you at the time the work is requested. We encourage you to make requests well in advance of the time when your research is needed so that your research schedule can be met. The purpose of this service is to provide timely research for limited projects. For long-term or ongoing research projects, faculty members are encouraged to get a research assistant. Please contact Anna Creed or Patrick Charles to inquire about faculty research projects. Research Assistant and Training Support
At your request, the reference librarians will train your research assistants in the process of legal research. We will also meet one-on-one with your research assistants to suggest research strategies for particular research projects. Contact the library director at (509) 313-3739.
