Make an appointment with your subject liaison librarian for in-depth research. Example questions: How can I get started with my thesis research or term paper? What was that tool you showed us in class?

Live help from librarians 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

Instant help in your browser (no plugins or downloads) from librarians across the country. Try this when you need immediate help and none of the Puget Sound librarians are available. We'll follow up if you need more help. Example questions: It’s 3 am, and my topic has changed—how should I search for the new one? How do I find this book in the library’s catalog? How do I renew a book?
