Why Make an Appointment?
A professional librarian will meet with you one-on-one to discuss research strategies and appropriate resources for your research. We will also provide instruction in searching, as needed. At the end of the consultation, you will be better equipped to continue your research on your own.
Choose The Location:
Lincoln Park Loop Online or Phone
If you don't see appointments available at the Lincoln Park or Loop locations, try the "Online or Phone" location for additional options.
Please note:
-
Appointments are
25 minutes; if you need one hour, choose two consecutive time slots.

at least 24 hours in advance.

The default librarian choice is "no preference"; this allows you to meet with the librarian whose availability matches yours. This option works for most people.

If you are a
graduate student or working on an in-depth or difficult project, consider scheduling your appointment with the
appropriate subject liaison librarian.
