Consult a librarian
Need help with finding information resources on Africa? Book one of our librarians for a 30 minute consultation.
During a half-hour appointment you will receive an introduction to our digital and physical library, assistance in finding the best keywords for your information search, or advice on useful internet sources. This service also caters to students with special needs.
We do consultations on-site in our library, more handy if you are based in Uppsala, or via Zoom if you prefer that. Please note that currently we only offer Zoom consultations.
General instructions
Book at least 5 days in advance and provide us with the following information:
- Your research topic and your help needs. So we can prepare.
- Date and time. When do you want to do it? Give a few alternatives.
- On-site or via Zoom? Currently you can only choose Zoom.
- Name and contact info. So we can reach you and confirm the booking.
