IROC

For more in-depth research assistance, consider scheduling an Individual Research Online Consultation. You, or you and your team, can meet online with a librarian for research advice. The librarian can orient you to the virtual library, explain advanced searching, and direct you to appropriate resources.

IROC sessions will generally not last more than one hour.

Please make your request at least two business days in advance. Your appointment will be confirmed by a Librarian. If you do not hear from a Librarian in 3 business days, contact Patti Meyer (pmeyer@devry.edu, 630-706-3172).

The DeVry Virtual Library is not able to guarantee patron privacy while using a 3rd party-service.
