News Detail

During the last week of September, Memorial Library will invite students to participate in an opinion survey to help shape the future of Memorial Library’s Research Help services. The survey, which will be available online at bit.ly/1OeuWqY, will solicit feedback from students about their research habits and needs, as well as their satisfaction with library services.  

 As an incentive, students who complete the survey and choose to provide their contact information will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a Fitbit. 

Library staff request faculty assistance with promotion that will continue through Friday, Oct. 16. Students will receive an email with the online link to the survey the week of Sept. 28.

A secondary goal of the survey is to promote research help services. Librarians can help students identify and access resources, evaluate what they find, narrow their research topics, develop targeted search strategies, cite sources and learn to use citation managers and other research tools. 

Students can request one-on-one research help appointments with a librarian that specializes in their field of study. Request forms are in myRedDragon, in the appointments channel of the library tab. 

Members of the community are welcome to receive drop-in assistance at the Research Help Desk in the main lobby of the library. Librarians can be reached by phone, text, email and chat.  Chat can be launched from the library tab or any online library resource with a green “Click to Ask a Librarian!” button.

For more information, contact Instructional Services Librarian Lauren Stern, library, by email or phone at (607) 753-2288.
