How We Can Help You

Ask a Librarian consultants are generalists who can assist you with navigating the library’s resources and developing initial search strategies. If you need advanced assistance within a particular academic domain, please email or schedule an appointment with the appropriate subject specialist. If you schedule with Ask a Librarian, but you would be better served by a subject specialist, we will work to connect you with the appropriate specialist.

For Hospital Affiliates or Faculty, Students, or Staff in Health Sciences

If you are a hospital affiliate or faculty, student, or staff member in the Health Sciences, you can contact the Taubman Library Informationist liaison for your School, Speciality Service, Department, or Center to schedule a consultation appointment. If you are unsure which Specialist to contact, you can email thlibrary@umich.edu.

In-Person Consultations or Non-Affiliates

If you would like to request an in-person consultation in a physical library space, do not see a time that works for you, or are not a current U-M affiliate, you can fill out this form to request a consultation.

Whenever possible, we will respond to form requests within two business days. If appropriate, we will connect you with a library staff member or subject librarian with expertise in your research area to schedule an appointment, which may require a few additional days.

If you need assistance more quickly, please use our Ask a Librarian service.
