Reference Desk

Librarians are available at the Reference Desk to answer questions about the Library's resources and guide research.  Please see the Hours & Directions page for the current Reference Desk Hours.

Research Appointments

Individuals with in-depth research needs may schedule research appointments with librarians to discuss library and Web resources and brainstorm effective research strategies. You will learn how to use the relevant journal databases, reference works and search engines for your term papers, projects, or presentations. You will also learn how to locate materials in Trinity’s library, or at other libraries.

To schedule an appointment, please visit the Reference Desk, or complete the Contacts form.

Classroom Instruction

The Library’s Research and Instruction Department offers customized research instruction for courses ranging from First Year seminars to Graduate Thesis independent studies. Faculty may wish to collaborate with librarians on developing research programs for specific courses or assignments. If so, our site on collaborative teaching, Learning Connections, displays some possibilities for doing so.
