RESEARCH CONSULTATIONS:

Research Consultations are usually booked by Library users such as faculty, students in research intensive programs, as well as those engaged in applied and external research projects. Before requesting a research consultation, it is a good idea to:

  1. Have a clear research question in mind,
  2. Have already completed some initial searching.  

If you're new to literature searching or just getting started, you can visit a Library Service Desk, email us at library@rrc.ca, or connect with us via our Ask Us chat service on the Library website.

  • Research consultations can happen over Teams or in-person, depending on your preference. The librarian or library staff member will provide you with an online meeting invitation for your consultation once you agree on a mutually convenient time.
  • Research consultations should be booked with as much notice as possible to give the librarian or library staff assisting you an appropriate time to review your initial searches/questions
