Arrange a Private Consultation

Consult with an information expert on a one-on-one basis to make sure you have the knowledge you need to get the best information possible and that you aren't missing out on anything important. Subject specialists are available for many areas.

HSLS faculty librarians and other information professionals can:

• advise or instruct you in the use of resources;
• review and validate your search strategies;
• help you choose the right databases for your search;
• help you find print resources on your topic;
• answer questions about library services; or
• answer other information-related questions.

This service is useful for faculty members, researchers, authors, clinicians, doctoral students, grant writers, administrators and other knowledge workers who need high quality information to do their job.

To arrange a consultation, contact the reference department at medlibq@pitt.edu or 412-648-8796. Alternatively, you may wish to contact the liaison librarian for your school or department directly.
