Any question you might ask at a reference desk in any of our libraries. For example:
Where should I begin to look for information on this topic (in the libraries, the internet, etc.)?
I have looked in all the usual places, where else might I look?
Can you supply me with an address (a quotation source, a correct citation, et al.)?
Northern Illinois University faculty, staff, students and alumni with e-mail access have priority for this service.
You will receive a response within 48 hours, Monday through Friday excluding weekends and holidays. For example, questions received on Friday will receive a response by the following Tuesday.
