First-Generation Students Library Guide

The library offers appointments for personalized, in-depth consultation services to support your research needs. Reference librarians will help you identify and locate the resources most useful for your project or paper. One-on-one appointments with a librarian are available during normal Reference Librarian Hours and are conducted via phone, email, in-person, Teams or Zoom. 

To schedule a consultation, complete the Consultation Request Form. A librarian will contact you to confirm your appointment.
