Info Pro Services

Have a question or topic you’d like to research, but can’t decide where to start? Going back to college, but don’t know how to use online databases and resources?

Any library patron high school age and above can make an appointment for one-on-one help from a professional information specialist – an “InfoPro” at the Des Plaines Public Library.

The new InfoPro service supplements the telephone, walk-in, and electronic reference services already offered by the library. Individuals and small groups may also make appointments with an InfoPro for personalized tours to learn more about library materials and services.

At a scheduled session, an InfoPro will suggest useful library materials and databases based on individual research requirements. An individual will learn how to conduct successful searches on a chosen topic and how to use the catalog and printed materials more effectively.

In addition, the patron will receive a customized research guide tailored to his or her specific needs. The guide will list suggested books, databases, Web sites, and other resources on a particular topic.

For more information or to schedule an appointment or tour, please email or phone the Reference Desk at 847-376-2841.
