There are existing research guides for every program on campus that provide broad coverage of resources used by each field of study - called Subject Research Guides.
Librarians can also create course-specific research guides customized to the goals of the course. Guides can support any research assignments within the class by listing the best resources for the field of study - including databases, journal titles, books, e-books, websites, datasets, etc.
Faculty and students can schedule one-on-one and small group meetings with a faculty librarian to discuss assignments, research questions, relevant information resources, etc. These consultations can be online or face-to-face.
