About Ebling Library Reference Services

Reference librarians are super searchers who are here to save you time and effort. We'll help you find the needle in the haystack or do the research for you!

We serve UW affiliates, unaffiliated health professionals or students, and the public. We answer quick reference questions such as verifying a citation or work with you on in-depth questions when preparing a grant proposal, conducting a systematic review or researching a health concern.

Reference librarians can help you set up alerts, feeds, and other features to make the most of the databases you depend on, as well as show you how to use online tools to more easily manage your references, bibliographies and research materials.

In addition, Ebling Library provides a liaison librarian for each school, department and research center. Your liaison librarian can help you or your students with research and literature searching, or can recommend library or campus resources to meet reference needs.

If we are unable to answer your question, we will assist you in finding help from the appropriate library, institutional entity, or individual.
