Q. I have a research paper due soon and need to do the research. Does the library have a service that can help me get started?

A. Yes. You can schedule a consultation with one of the reference librarians to assist you in beginning your research project. This free service is available to all students and can be a valuable resource in dealing with the staggering amount of health literature. To schedule a consultation, call the reference desk at 994-2850.

Q. How can I lookup the email address for a GW student?

A. On the GWU home page (www.gwu.edu) is a link to a GW directory (click on the telephone icon). In the middle of the directory window is a search box which will allow you to enter the person's name and status (student, faculty, staff).

Q. How can I send an attachment in GWMail?

A. Create a new message in GW Mail and fill in the To: and Subject: fields as usual. Then click on the "attach" button at the top of the window. You will then need to locate the file you wish to attach (click on "browse..." and find the file), and then attach it to the email message (click on "add"). Now click on "send" to send your email message with the attached file.
