Make a Research Appointment

A one-on-one research appointment with your subject librarian can be a good way to get started or to get help if you are stuck.

Email library@brynmawr.edu or use the Ask a Librarian form to request an appointment.  Submit a brief description of your research question and your email address, and we will answer within 24 hours. Or, make an appointment using our online scheduler.

You can also contact your subject librarian directly -- see the list below.
