The library offers research assistance free of charge. Whether you’re having trouble finding books, articles and statistics or need help navigating the library’s databases, we can guide you. Stop by the reference desk or contact us through our Ask-A-Librarian email and IM reference services.  We’re always happy to answer your questions.     

For lengthy or complex questions, schedule a research consultation to work one-on-one with a librarian.  We can provide individual help with your research when you need it and we’ll spend the time it takes to help you find what you need in a friendly and efficient manner. Here’s what students have said about our research consultation service:

"The great thing about the DePaul Library staff is that they really seem to take an active interest in the student's topic and are willing to pick up the instruction from where the student is and go forward."

"…I have the highest regard for the library staff. In my experience it is singularly the best service available to students. MY HONEST OPINION."

Don’t spend hours at home struggling!  Join your peers and schedule a research consultation this quarter.
