Term Paper Research Assistance
Research clinics have ended for the Fall semester. Here are some ways that Bobst Library can help you throughout the year.
- Visit a reference center in Bobst Library and ask the librarian on duty for help in identifying relevant resources for your topic. They will get you started on the right track:
- General, Humanities Reference and Social Sciences Reference- 1st floor
- Business and Documents Reference - 6th floor
- Science Reference - 9th floor
- Online "Research Guides" describe key resources (including encyclopedias, dictionaries, article databases, and more) available in Bobst Library and on the Web in a given subject area. Find them at: http://library.nyu.edu/research/subject.html
- Starting your research from home and having trouble getting started?
- Connect to Ask-a-Librarian at http://library.nyu.edu/ask/ where 7 days a week you can submit an e-mail request for help identifying keywords or recommendations for a good database to search for articles about your topic.
- You can also IM us using our screen name AskBobst Monday-Thursday from 10am-12 midnight, Friday and Saturday from 11am-6pm, and Sunday from 1pm-10pm.
- OR you can TEXT US at 646-265-1342 from your mobile phone Mon-Sat, 10 am - 6 pm.
- NYU students can make research assistance appointments with librarians at any time throughout the year. In many cases, we may be able to help you over the phone or via email. Contact the subject librarian assigned to your school or department. If you're a freshman or sophomore, contact the Undergraduate Librarian.
