Email us from EBSCOhost!

Research questions come up when we're in the middle of doing research, and EBSCOhost has devised a quick way for you to ask us for help mid-search session. Just look at the upper right hand corner of any EBSCOhost database search screen (these include biggies like Academic Search Premiere and more tightly focused collections like the Gender Studies Database and ATLA), and you'll see a link to "Ask a Librarian!" Click that, give us your name, contact information, and a summary of what tripped you up, and hit send. The database will automatically email the reference staff your question along with a copy of your search string, and one of us will get back to you with strategies for extricating yourself from a research jam.

Searching other databases, or just want general help? Give us a call with questions at x2225, email us at reference@slc.edu, or just stop by our office behind the circulation desk on the main floor of the library.
