What to Expect

I will meet with you one-on-one to discuss research strategies and appropriate resources for your research. I will also provide instructions on searching, as needed. At the end of the consultation, you will be better equipped to continue your research independently.

What to Bring

  • Your topic and assignment (notes, syllabus, handouts, etc.)
  • Anything you have found (books, articles, citations, etc.)
  • Something for note-taking

Things to know:

  • You aren't required to make an appointment to get help from a librarian! You can also chat with a librarian, email a librarian, or text us a question (909-542-8990). Are you looking for self-help options? Try one of our Library Guides, or check our FAQ.
  • But if you need a specific time to fit your schedule, anyone is welcome to make an appointment.
  • Appointments are scheduled in 30-minute blocks and must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
