Appointments with Kathleen
Click on SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT, above.
I usually hold Zoom appointments on evenings and weekends because I am off -campus. When I'm on campus I make myself available live and in person. However, I can easily switch in-person appointments to Zoom if that works better for you. Just say so in the notes and I'll send you a Zoom link.

If none of my posted availability works for you, please email me. We will make it work.

Stay safe! Stay engaged! Stay enrolled!

Ready, set, research!

Research is a process, and the Ready, Set, Research guide aims to introduce students to some of the fundamental steps of that process. It is designed to serve as introduction rather than a comprehensive teaching tool.

After moving through this module, students are encouraged to collaborate with research librarians each and every time they have a research project. By working with librarians at the Research Help desk, within appointments, and via chat, text and email, students have the opportunity to acquire, practice, and ultimately master the vital skills they need to be successful researchers and critical information consumers.
