How the Library Can Help Your Students During
End of the Semester Rush
Class on Demand – Research Help Made to Order: Librarians will design a class on a topic specifically to meet the unique needs of students. We know when one student has a question, chances are others do too. Likewise, many students work in groups. This new service is designed to accommodate research groups of 4 or more students. Students can simply fill out the Class on Demand request form to arrange a class on demand.
24/7 Reference Service: Instant help from librarians across the country, with next business day follow up by liaison librarians at Puget Sound. Students should try the 24/7 Reference Service when they need immediate help and none of the Puget Sound librarians are available. Librarians will follow up with students. This service is great for questions such as: It’s 3 am, and my topic has changed—how should I search for the new one? How do I find this book in the library’s catalog?
E-Mail: Have a general question or aren’t sure who to contact? Email libref@pugetsound.edu to ask about login problems or technical issues with our resources.
Subject-specific assistance: Students with an in-depth question can email a subject liaison librarian to set up an appointment.
Extended Hours: The Library offers extended hours prior to Reading period and during Finals week. Link to our complete list of hours.
