Reference Librarians are available at the reference desk in the main library, by telephone at 847-491-7656, by email at library@northwestern.edu, and though instant messaging.

Your research query may be more involved than can be addressed adequately through a brief interaction at the Reference desk, by phone, by IM or email. In this case, you may want to schedule a Research Consultation with a librarian. This service is intended to give you some in-depth assistance in identifying and locating the resources most useful for the project at hand.
