Stephen Klein (Digital Services Librarian) holds one-on-one Zotero virtual office hours for drop-in video consultations on Mondays 3-4pm. Zotero is open source citation software enabling users to easily collect, organize, cite and share.

Dissertation Office Drop-In Hours

Tuesday 12/09 and 12/16, and Thursday 12/18, 2:00pm – 4:00pm

Have a last-minute concern about depositing your dissertation or thesis? The library’s Dissertation Office dedicates time for drop-in Zoom consultations most Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-4pm. Specific hours may vary from week to week due to holiday closures; see registration page. Advance registration is not required but you must fill out the registration form to be connected. If another student is being assisted, you’ll be kept in the “waiting room” until the librarian is available.
(NB: Students are still welcome to stop by the Dissertation Office (room 2304) at other times or request an online or in-person appointment during regular business hours by emailing Roxanne Shirazi at [email protected].)

Archival Research Drop-In Hour

Wednesday 12/10, 11:00am – 12:00pm

Have a question about archival research? GC community members are invited to stop by our bi-weekly online office hours for one-on-one assistance with archives-related topics. Bring your questions about finding analog and digital sources, using archives, conducting background research, and more.

Have a question but can’t make the drop-in session? Contact Donna Davey at [email protected] to discuss over email or set up a consultation.

Scholarly Publishing Drop-In Hour

Thursday 12/18, 4:00pm – 5:00pm
