Introduction to the Library: Research Help

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

We are also 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

Our Library Chat is available from the library home page and is a quick way to get in touch with one of our staff. If chat is not available, one of us will follow up by email as soon as we can!

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.

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.
