Research Services

SAIS Library's Reference Desk is located on the 6th floor of the Nitze Building. During the academic year, a reference librarian is on duty Monday through Friday, 9 am - 5 pm. The librarians are always happy to assist you with research questions - an appointment is not necessary. This page features information on research-related services at SAIS:
