Schedule a Research Consultation
Research Consultations are scheduled, one-on-one meetings with a reference librarian. You can also schedule these consultations for a small group. Consultations usually last 30 minutes and take place during Reference Librarian Hours. 48 hours advanced notice requested for scheduling purposes.
Ways to Get Help Outside Our Hours
If you have a question outside our usual hours, send an email to refdesk@bentley.edu and we will respond when we return. You can also check if there is a Research Guide for your topic or search our Frequently Asked Questions to see if an answer is already available for your question.
Research Guides
Research Guides are resources created by Bentley University Librarians to guide you through your research. Research guides are developed around a specific class, subject area, or special topic.
A research guide may include a list of relevant databases to search in, suggested search terms, recommended book titles, lists of websites, and more.
