Research Support

I'm Marnie Hampton, librarian for the School of Education, and I'll be supporting you as you work through the EdD program.  You are welcome to contact me with any research questions, or if you need help finding materials for your research.  We’ve designed several ways to support you as you complete your research:

  • This online EdD. Research LibGuide is available at http://pitt.libguides.com/educ3001 .  The guide has tips, instructional videos, and resources to help you throughout your program. 
  • You can schedule an appointment – either in person or online -- with me for research help.
  • I’ll offer workshops about researching your topic.  These classes will be both hands-on and online.  i’ll post a workshop schedule on the EdD Research guide soon.

If you want to contact me, my email is hamptonm@pitt.edu or you can use the Schedule an Appointment button to schedule a consultation with me. ​

Scheduling an Appointment

You can make an appointment -- either an in-person office visit or an online meeting -- with me using the Schedule an Appointment button under my picture.  Due to my schedule, I am unable to set up an appointment with less than 3 hours advance notice.

Click on the Schedule an Appointment button, select an available time, and fill out the form with as much information as possible.  The form will note the location as an office in Hillman Library, but if you wish to meet online, you can indicate that in the form.  You should receive an immediate email confirmation of your request, and we will send a later follow-up email confirming the appointment.

  • In-person office visit:  My office is in 405 Hillman Library.  Please bring your laptop and the details of your assignment or project, as well as any specific sources you may have already found.
  • Online meeting:  If your appointment will be online, the confirmation email I send you will contain a link for the online appointment, as well as the instructions for the online meeting; those instructions are also linked below.
