Peer Research Tutors
What is Peer Research Tutoring?
Wallace Library Peer Research Tutors (PRTs) are Wheaton students who have been trained to help you with all aspects of your library research. We can help you:- understand your assignment, choose a topic, and develop a research question;
- plan your research, brainstorm keywords, and navigate databases;
- find and evaluate both scholarly and popular sources; and
- create and manage citations.
How Does it Work?
You can find the PRTs in the Scholars Lab on the Library’s Main Floor beginning Thursday, September 25th:
- Mondays, 6-9 pm
- Thursdays 7-9 pm
- Additional hours will be posted soon.
- your laptop (if you have one),
- your assignment,
- your questions, ideas, and concerns.
