Library Reseach Help


Ask a Librarian

This link leads to a page where you can send the librarian your research question or problem. Emails are sent to Ruth Moon, and will usually be answered within 48 hours except during weekends, breaks and holidays.


Library Toolbar

The Library Research Toolbar is software that works with the FireFox or Internet Explorer browser as an add-on. Once you download and install the software on your computer, you can then view the toolbar on your browser. The toolbar provides a search box, where you enter your research topic, and drop down menus where you can choose which library resource you want to search. The toolbar then returns search results from that library resource.
