Getting Prepared
Consultations, Classes, and Online Help

If you haven't spent much time in the Library, now is your time to brush up on your research skills! Think ahead about your research project. What types of skills will you need? How can you make your research experience more efficient? Here are a few steps you can take.

When you are starting to think about where to look for resources for your project, request a research consultation with one of our reference librarians. Our librarians will work with you one-on-one and help you get you on the right path for your research process.

Take a Class

The Library holds workshops on a variety of topics, such as finding full-text articles or using EndNote citation software, which may be helpful for your BA project. Workshops are usually held at the beginning of each Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters. For details, go to our Library Events Calendar.

Go to Your Class Page

Students in the College have an additional resource they can use to obtain assistance at the Library. They can use their Library Class Page, which provides a variety of learning resources and information about Library services.

Each class year in the College also has its own Class Librarian, who can be contacted through the Class Pages. The Class Librarian can answer general refrence questions, meet with you about research projects and provide help in using Library resources.

Contacting your Class Librarian is easy. Just go to www.lib.uchicago.edu/classpages to get to know your Class Librarian and learn how he or she can help you!
