If you feel like you need some additional help while working on assignments for your art history classes, you can reach out to the art history librarian, Garrett Traylor. You can communicate with them via email (garrettntraylor@augustana.edu) or by setting up a research consultation appointment. Research consultation appointments are typically 30 minutes long, and take place in either their office or virtually. To reach out to Garrett, click on the "Email Me" button in the profile box on this screen.
