Peer Research Consultants (PRCs) are students hired and trained through The North Hall Library and The MU Learning Center. The purpose of PRCs is to support Mansfield University students with written research projects by providing research assistance and information about library and Learning Center services and resources. PRCs engage with other students one-on-one, in small groups, with other tutors, and librarians.

Research assistance may include

• using the library catalog,
• simple database searching,
• locating library materials,
• peer-level guidance on planning and executing written research projects, and
• referrals to library and other faculty when additional support is needed.

If you have any questions about Peer Research Consultants, please reach out to Holly Jackson, Student Success Librarian at hjackson@mansfield.edu or (570) 662-4688 or Chris Cummings, Learning Center Director at ccumming@mansfield.edu or (570) 662-4828.
