Information Desk Services

Staff at the Information Desk offer research assistance: in-depth help as well as immediate help searching the library’s online catalog and databases.  Trained students also offer assistance as part of the Peer Information Skills Program.

You can schedule a one-on-one tutorial on any topic at the Information Desk by calling us at 203-932-7189, or by e-mailing us.  Come here for Government Document Request forms, Interlibrary Loan forms and for additional assistance with your research, if you are not finding what you need.  We are here to assist you.

Our library guides to research strategies and in particular subject areas may also be useful.  Find them near the Information Desk or through links on our home page.  A few are: Finding Articles, Glossary of Library Terms, Library Techniques, Engineering, Fire Science, Criminal Justice, Government Documents, History, Art & Architecture, and citation styles.  The Electronic Resource guide lists databases available to you.
