Frequently Asked Question about
Research at McFarlin Library

How should I get started on my library research?

Answer:

The Reference Librarians are eager to assist you with your research projects. Before beginning a project involving library research, please feel free to come by or call the Reference Desk. A professional librarian is available there most of the hours the library is open. The Reference Librarians may be reached by phone at 918-631-2880.

In addition, McFarlin provides a number of subject-related research guides that are available online 24-7. These guides identify and briefly describe most of the major research tools that students in various majors may be expected to use in the course of a research project. If the resource is online, a link is provided. If it is an offline (print) resource, a call number is provided. The guides are part of the Library's Instruction Program and are available here. If you have any questions about the research guides, please contact Rita Howell, Instruction Librarian, at 918-631-2876 or rita-howell@utulsa.edu.
