A research-consulting session with a reference librarian will help you find the information you need. We will help you develop the skills you need to explore more deeply and introduce specialty resources that really help you succeed in your academic pursuits.
Drop by the library to meet with the librarian on duty, or find your librarian listed by field of study. You can schedule an appointment at convenient time by calling the Service Desk at 260-481-6505.
Helmke Library's reference librarians and information assistants work in tandem to provide the highest quality reference and information services and instructional support to IPFW students, faculty, and staff, and campus visitors.
To make the most of your research consultation with a librarian, let us recommend that you take time to explore the library tour and quiz and the many tutorials and guides that are featured in our Information Literacy Tool Kits. To get oriented to the process of doing library research at IPFW, we also offer an Information Foraging Worksheet (PDF) that will help you organize your ideas and develop effective search strategies. |
