It's that time of year. Deadlines for those research papers are looming on the horizon. It can be overwhelming, enough to make you wave the white flag of surrender.

It doesn't have to be this way!

Get a jump start on your research, before fall break, at the Cowles Library Research Blitz from 8-10pm, October 12-14. We will have a small army of really smart people (aka librarians) here to help tackle your research projects as efficiently and effectively as possible. They do this stuff for a living, why not take advantage?

Get help...

• developing your topic
• finding background information
• using the catalog to find books, CD's, DVD's, and more
• discovering which research databases will work best for your topic
• evaluating credible internet resources
• and using RefWorks to automatically create bibliographies.

No need for an appointment. Just come on in, call, e-mail, or chat with us online.

We've been busy this summer. Instead of hitting the beach, we've been pounding the keyboard to bring you this shiny new website. We'd love for you to leave a comment telling us what you think and what you'd like to see in the future.

See what's new (hint: everything) and what you can expect to see in the upcoming months.
