Need more in-depth help and want to sit down with me to figure out where to get started, find resources, learn how to use resources like Zotero or specialized databases, and more? Make a research appointment!
When you make an appointment with me through the scheduler (I schedule in 30 min blocks with a 15 min buffer in case we go long), I'll usually:
- Email you to see if you want to meet in person in my office in Swem 130, on Zoom or by phone if you haven't already told me
- Ask you what you want to meet about (topic, resources you may have searched, or if you just want to brainstorm, etc) - this helps me prepare but I can also see what I can find in the moment
- Often I'll start a consultation sheet that you can refer back to for resources and keywords and send it to you at the end of our appointment (note: not all librarians do this since we all have our own ways of working)
