Questions about course reserves?
Course reserves can be found using the "Search for Course Information and Reserves" tab on our front page.
Reference Consultations
One-on-one consultations are available to help users with their research needs. Help is available in the Engineering Library in person, via email (engrref@cornell.edu), by phone (607-254-6261) or via Chat (librarians from other Cornell libraries may answer Chat calls).
Instruction and Classes
The Engineering Library supports the research and teaching of the College of Engineering by giving classes on library research. These are designed to fit the specific information needs of the course and teach students how to conduct research effectively. To request a session, contact Jeremy Cusker at jpc27@cornell.edu or engrref@cornell.edu.
