Library Research Help

RESEARCH SUPPORT

All of our research librarians are eager to help you however we can, and there are lots of different ways for you to get in touch:

  • CHAT. Available 24/7. Access on our homepage or https://libguides.holycross.edu/ask.

  • RESEARCH DESK. Drop by the desk in the Main Reading Room to speak with a Library Research Assistant  (6-8pm Sun, 10am-4pm and 6-8pm Mon-Thurs, 10am-1pm Fri). You can also ask for basic help at the Circulation Desk. 

  • EMAIL. Contact your preferred librarian, or, for the quickest response, use our centralized e-mail account, libref@holycross.edu. For technical issues: Helpdesk-request@holycross.edu, and mention that it is a library related issue. If you can, CC libref@holycross.edu

  • PERSONAL RESEARCH SESSIONS. We are conducting research help sessions both remotely and in-person. Appointments are available throughout the week, including some evenings after the fall/spring break. Students or faculty may schedule an appointment at https://libguides.holycross.edu/ask

If you have any questions, or there is anything else we can do to help, get in touch!

You can chat, e-mail libref@holycross.edu, or call 508-793-2642.

First Year Engagement Librarian

First Year Engagement Librarian

The First Year Engagement Librarian works with you and your Montserrat professors to introduce you to library resources. She is here to help you make the most of libraries and their resources during your first year at Holy Cross. The First Year Engagement Librarian can also meet individually for Personal Research Sessions to help you at any stage of a research assignment. If you have questions about library resources, where to find things, or anything about research, the First Year Engagement Librarian is happy to assist you. And if you see her around the library, feel free to stop and say hello!
