Who can use the service?
- Students, faculty and staff at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus are invited to send your research questions to our business librarians.
Due to limited resources, we may need to limit this service to students, faculty, and staff at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus. If you are not affiliated with the University of Minnesota, we can respond to your questions about availability of library services or about resources unique to our collections. If you are not affiliated with the University of Minnesota, we may be able to provide quick factual information, but we cannot provide comprehensive e-mail reference assistance.
