Book a Librarian

Need research help? Schedule an appointment through Book-a-Librarian

Whether you're just getting started with your research or you've hit a roadblock, a librarian can help guide you through developing your topic and finding credible resources relevant to your assignment. 

Our Book-a-Librarian service offers 30-minute one-on-one appointments to help you navigate college-level academic research.

How to Book Your Appointment

1. Log in to your account using your district log in, if you are not already logged in.
   
   
2. Choose Appointment Type:
   • Online Appointment: If you’re away from campus, select this option and a Teams link for your session will be included in your confirmation email.
   • In-Person Appointment: Choose this option to meet in-person at the library (AC2-148). Please check in at the front desk upon arrival.
3. Select Staff (Optional): If you have a preferred librarian, you can choose them here, especially if they’ve previously discussed your assignment in class.
   
   
4. Pick Date and Time: Appointments must be booked at least 2 days in advance to allow librarians to prepare. Appointments are available Monday – Thursday from 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM and Fridays from 9:00 AM – 2:30 PM.
   • Tip: Need to see a librarian sooner? You can always drop by the library when we’re open or use the Ask-a-Librarian chat to speak with a librarian.
5. Provide Contact Information: This allows us to send you a confirmation email and a calendar invite, and should be grayed out because you already logged in.
   
   
6. Share Assignment Details: Include your course, instructor, assignment description, and the type of research help you need.

We look forward to assisting you with your research!
