Introduction to the Library: Research Help

Welcome to Hampshire College! This guide will give you a brief overview of all the Harold F. Johnson library has to offer you as students.

Have Research? We Can Help!

Have research questions? We are available to students, faculty, and staff during the library's open hours - just ask at the InfoBar. 

All researchers can use this form to request a consult with a librarian in the Harold F. Johnson Library. 

We are available to help via email, phone, or by appointment (Zoom or in-person). 

Ask us about:

  • citations
  • bibliographies
  • topic formation
  • referrals to writing center, CASA, OARS, and accessible technology
  • finding the best sources for your topics
  • finding study spaces that suit your needs
  • printing

We’re always evaluating technology options to figure out what tools will provide the best possible experience for our users, so keep an eye on our website and social media for forthcoming announcements!

In the meantime, you can always reach us at library@hampshire.edu or by calling 413-559-5440.

How to Access E-Resources

If you have questions about using any of the online resources that Hampshire offers, we recommend checking out this research guide. It will teach you:

  • What is an e-resource?
  • What e-resources can I use as a Hampshire community member?
  • How do I connect to them?

As always, you can also reach out to library@hampshire.edu for research help or libtech@hampshire.edu for any technical problems you encounter in the process.
