REFERENCE & RESEARCH ASSISTANCE

Reference Assistance

  • Basic reference assistance is available whenever art library staff are on duty: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Student assistants are available at the service desk at all times and can help patrons with questions about using the library catalog, finding reserve materials, requesting materials from the Smith College Libraries Storage Facility, requesting inter-library loans, and connecting to databases and Internet resources.
  • Use Ask a Reference Librarian, an online reference service for brief, factual questions. Available to students, faculty, and staff at Smith College.
  • The Smith College Libraries Art and Architecture Resources Page provides links to major art research library catalogs, indexing and abstracting services for the visual arts, reviews of art publications, meta-sites for visual arts information on the Internet, and other research resources.

Library Instruction
