Librarians can assist you with your research, including locating the right citation, database, or book; creating research plans; and learning how to use online or print research resources. Stop by the Ask Here desk and ask to speak with a librarian, or email us at library@hiram.edu with your questions or to make an appointment. A librarian is generally in the building 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. M-F, but we are available other times by appointment.
The library's website also has resources to help you with your research.
Need to find an online journal article? These databases cover a wide range of subjects and can be a good place to start a journal article search. If you have questions or need to learn more, contact us, or visit our Finding Articles guide.
Course Guides provide resource lists specifically for your course or assignment. If you find that you have no Course Guide please contact a librarian for help finding resources for your class.
Subject Guides are pages created by librarians which can point you in the direction of relevant materials for your research and papers. These can be found for most majors and disciplines in our Guide List.

A valid Hiram ID is all that is needed to check out course reserves.
