Librarians are available to help students research a topic. Make an appointment at the RISD Library Research Help Desk or by emailing researchhelp@risd.edu. We're available to meet with individuals or groups. This meeting will help you clarify your ideas, provide ways to approach your topic, and identify key terms, print and online resources, and search strategies to help get you started and save time.

A meeting with a librarian usually lasts 15-30 minutes depending on the scope of the topic. You are always welcome to make follow-up appointments.
