Request a one-on-one consultation with a librarian
Do you have a detailed research question and need guidance? Are you encountering obstacles in your research?
Book a 30-minute consultation appointment with a John Jay librarian. The librarian will provide personalized guidance and recommendations based on your research topic or assignment.
Examples of research questions that merit a consultation:
- I am writing a research paper on the topic of "canners," can and bottle collectors in New York City. I've looked for scholarly research on this topic but haven't found anything. How do I find ethnographic research on this specific population?
- I am researching how language about gay rights has changed. Where can I find a dataset or tool that compares the use of different phrases in US newspapers over time?
This service is available to John Jay undergraduate/graduate students and faculty members. Questions about Capstone seminar projects are especially welcome.
Please note that you can always ask a librarian for help at the Reference Desk without making an appointment.
