If you have any questions, our staff are happy to help, you just need to ask!

Sit down with a knowledgeable library staff member to receive helpful guidance in 

  • locating resources,
  • navigating databases for academic journal articles
  • Locating subject information for your assignments and class projects

Help desk plus is a drop-in service, no appointments needed.
