What is the Research Assistance appointment?

It is a chance to meet with a librarian, and get individual help on research. The librarian will talk with you about your assignment, the types of information you need, the resources you can use, and explain to you how to use them.

How is a Research Assistance appointment different from assistance at the Circulation Desk or with CHAT?

The librarian has more time to handle your questions without interruptions.   Advance scheduling allows the librarian to investigate your topic before-hand.   We request one full business day notice to make these arrangements.
