MCTC Libraries offer both reference appointments and research consultations to meet your information needs.
Each service is designed for a different purpose and level of research support.
Be sure to read the description below before making your appointment!
Reference Appointments are best for quick questions and guidance. These are short sessions—usually 15 to 30 minutes—where a librarian can help you locate a specific item, use a database, cite a source, or troubleshoot access to online resources. They're ideal for students, faculty, or staff who need brief, task-oriented help.
Research Consultations are in-depth, one-on-one sessions (up to 60 minutes) designed to support larger or more complex research projects. During these sessions, a librarian will work with you to refine your topic, find credible and relevant sources, develop search strategies, and get started with longer-term research. These consultations are especially helpful for students working on major assignments or faculty looking for support with scholarly research.
Not sure which one you need? Reach out—we’ll point you in the right direction!
Sometimes the best support happens face-to-face—and that’s exactly what we offer at your campus library!
Whether you need quick guidance or help tackling a big research project, meeting with a librarian in person can make all the difference. We’re here to walk you through the process, answer your questions in real time, and help you feel more confident with your research.
When booking your appointment, be sure to choose a librarian at your campus location so we can meet with you in person and give you the best support possible.
