Research Services

Librarian Katie Rawson can help users locate information, form a research strategy, select relevant databases, and manage citations. The field of Communication is expansive and diverse and so are its research resources, so library staff are prepared to help navigate Penn’s rich resource environment and beyond. Walk-in assistance is encouraged but users can also phone or email ahead before making a special trip.

Besides one-on-one assistance to Penn students, staff, and faculty, Annenberg faculty may request classroom library instruction sessions and group project support. They may also request customized searches from the librarian.
