We're past the halfway point in the semester and you've begun the first steps of the research assignment for your class. Are you stuck with a topic that's either too broad or too narrow? Found too many (or too few) results from the library's online catalog and databases? Unsure of what to do or where to go from here?

Help is available! Drop by the reference desk to schedule a 30-minute personalized research consultation with a librarian, or call us at (562)908-3484. You can also e-mail us at library@riohondo.edu. A librarian will meet with you or your group to help you clarify and define your research topic, suggest keywords to use in database or Web searches, recommend appropriate databases, and help you develop a research strategy.

Book your consultation as soon as you can, then bring your topic and whatever research work you've already done to your appointment. Librarians can't do the research for you, but we'll always be here to guide you in the right direction.
