Research Appointments

1. What is a research appointment?

It is an individual search session, up to an hour in length, in which a student works intensively with a librarian to identify the best sources for a given topic. It is usually scheduled in advance so both individuals can plan their time and the librarian can search out some of the information beforehand.

2. How do I schedule one?

Fill out the middle section of this sheet, contact one of the librarians whose names and telephone extensions are listed on it, and plan with that person when you will meet.
