About Reference Consultations
Research assistance is available on a walk-in basis at the Reference Desk during many of the Library's
regular hours. However, if you are working on a detailed and complex
research assignment you may find it beneficial to set up a Reference
Consultation to meet one-on-one with a Librarian to discuss your
question or project.
How long is a session?
Sessions generally last between 15-60 minutes,
depending upon your topic and situation. Consultations are available Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm,
but are not necessarily available immediately. Library staff need
a few days to determine schedule availability so please plan accordingly.
