Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Wishkoski, and I'm the Social Work librarian here at USU.
My pronouns are she/her/hers. I’m also the librarian for Sociology, Anthropology, Intersectional Gender Studies, Music and Human Development & Family Studies.
I’m available to help you with assignments in this class and in any other HDFS classes you might be taking. The best part of my job is answering students’ questions, so please reach out any time! I can help you plan your research, hone your topic, develop search strategies, learn databases and other research tools, find and evaluate sources, and cite in APA.
I’ll be working remotely during fall semester 2020, but I can help you in a lot of different formats. Send me a message at rachel.wishkoski@usu.edu to ask for help via email or to set up an appointment to talk another way. I’m happy to meet with you via phone, video call (your choice of platform – though Zoom or Google Meet are probably the easiest options), or the library’s chat system.

Here’s some advice:
