Note: Messages received outside of the hours listed will be answered during the next time librarians are on-call. 

Research Appointment 

You can also make an appointment to meet one-on-one with a librarian for more in-depth assistance. Schedule an appointment through Navigate. Research appointments can be conducted virtually or in-person on the Normal campus. 

Research Appointments

Research appointments are an opportunity for students to meet with a librarian. During a scheduled appointment, a librarian can discuss your assignment, navigate the library's databases and resources with you, and help you find academic sources. 

Librarians can meet with individuals or groups in-person or online via Zoom, depending on your preference. While appointments are generally scheduled during the Ask A Librarian hours listed above, appointments can be made outside of those times with advance notice. 

Appointments are made through the Navigate system
