Get Help – One-on-One Research Consultations

What is a One-on-One Research Consultation? Meet one-on-one with a librarian subject specialist, who will help you develop or rethink your search strategy, identify appropriate sources for academic research projects and assignments. Consultations are generally 30-45 minutes long. Interested in scheduling a consultation? We encourage you to schedule an appointment by filling out a form on our “Ask a Librarian” page. Please be as specific as possible about your research topic. You may also make an appointment with your subject librarians by emailing them directly:

Qinghua Xu Reference and Research Services Librarian, STEM Caitlin MacKenzie Mannion Reference and Subject Specialist Librarian, Humanities and Social Sciences Please allow at least 24-48 hours for us to schedule and prepare. If you need assistance more quickly, please stop by reference desk or contact us via phone, chat,  or e-mail.

Shhhh….

NYU Shanghai Library has space for silent and group study. But even in the group study area, we ask you to be mindful of others and keep your discussion light. If you need a break from study and want to chat with friends, 2nd floor cafe is an ideal area. Help us make the library great and good luck on midterm exam!
