Reference

Have a question you can’t answer? Don’t have the time to do a literature search? Having difficulty with doing your own searches? Why not call an expert? The reference librarians can help you. Visit us Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm or set up a consultation by calling x2522 or 342-2522. You can also send email to Librarian@cooperhealth.edu.

Please, don’t think you have to do every search on your own. It is just as important to know when to ask for help!
