Customized research assistance

Subject librarians specialize in research in the various disciplines taught here at UNLV.  Subject librarians can meet with you to discuss a class assignment that requires research and guide you to the best resources.

Subject librarians also maintain online guides with recommendations for research in specific disciplines.  These guides can be a great starting point when you are doing in-depth research.
