The SEAM Evening Research Assistance provides one-on-one help during extended evening hours for undergraduate students working on research assignments that require finding, evaluating, using, and citing credible information sources. We’re dedicated to helping students become better researchers and are here to help at any stage of the research process.
The SEAM is available Sunday–Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m. located at the Just Ask Desk on the first floor of the Main Library. You may also make a Zoom or in-person appointment.
If you need research assistance outside of those hours, there are always librarians happy to help.
Please reach out using this form: www.lib.uiowa.edu/research/consultations.
You may also:
- Schedule an appointment with an Undergraduate Engagement librarian for help with rhetoric and other assignments.
- Use our online chat service to get some quick questions answered.
- Contact a subject specialist librarian at www.lib.uiowa.edu/people/find-your-librarian/
- Stop by the Main Library’s Just Ask Desk, which opens at 9 a.m. Monday–Friday.
The SEAM Evening Research Assistance librarians and staff also collaborate with faculty and instructors to integrate information literacy, critical thinking, and research skills into course and curricular content.
The SEAM services are free and available to anyone in the University of Iowa community.
