The OWRC offers specialized assistance through all stages of the writing and research process. Whether you need help getting started or would like assistance revising a completed draft--we can help. Open to all members of the UW community in any field of study, make an appointment online or simply drop in.

The Student Consultation Service is designed for UW students needing research assistance with course- and degree-related projects and assignments. Meet with a librarian one-on-one to discuss focusing a topic, identifying & evaluating sources, and searching library databases and the Internet effectively. Drop-in at the Research Help desk in the Odegaard Writing & Research Center, or make an appointment. You can also request an appointment with a subject librarian for help on developing a specific topic here.
