Your Personal Librarian!
My name is Eileen Bosch and I am your new subject liaison librarian. I relocated from Southern California and since last semester, I have met with some of the faculty in your department to offer library services. In case I haven't had the chance to meet with you, I am available to provide library research instruction for your classes, assist you with any scholarly communication initiatives, provide individual consultations for you or your students, and more! For more in-depth information about BGSU Libraries services and resources or to answer any library-related questions, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Doing a Research Paper and Don’t Know Where to Start?
Beginning March 17 and continuing through April 11 Monday – Friday, University Libraries will once again offer Individual Research Appointments (IRAs) for undergraduate students.
Individual Research Appointments provide students with one-on-one research assistance to help them identify and locate library and online sources and to help them formulate search strategies.
To schedule an appointment, visit our new online scheduling tool YouCanBook.me. This tool provides students with the flexibility to schedule, cancel, and reschedule Individualized Research Appointments (IRAs) online, 24hours a day. In addition students can call 419.372.6943 or stop by the Research & Information Desk on the first floor of Jerome Library. Please schedule your appointment by midnight of the day before you would like to meet with someone. This allows librarians time to prepare.
Students should have a specific topic or assignment and will be asked to state it when calling to set up their appointment.
A similar service is available for graduate students. Please call 419-372-6943 or stop by the Research & Information Desk for more information.
