Research Reference Help

 

We can assist researchers via email, postal mail and telephone with questions that can be answered in roughly fifteen minutes of staff time.

This includes basic reference questions, checking whether materials are stored on- or off-site, sending electronic copies of finding aids that are not yet available online, confirming days and hours that we are open for research, and other needs that you may have.

If your question fits this description, please send it using the online form below, call the reference desk at (512) 495-4532, or mail it to us.

Reference Request Form

We answer questions in the order that we receive them. Please do not send multiple requests if you do not hear back right away. We strive to answer all questions within a week of receipt.

The Texas Public Information Act, with a few exceptions, gives you the right to be informed about the information that the University of Texas at Austin collects about you. It also gives you the right to request a copy of that information; and to have the University correct any of that information that is wrong. You may request to receive and review any of that information, or request corrections to it, by contacting the University's Public Information Officer, Office of Financial Affairs, PO Box 8179, Austin TX, 78713.

Do you need more research help than we can provide? Consider hiring a researcher from the Austin area to help you where our available services leave off.

Do you need to know how to cite our materials? We have a formatting guide available.
