How do I refer a research question to a librarian?
There are a couple of ways that you can use our online booking system, LibCal, to help a patron get in touch with a librarian.
The link to “Schedule A Research Appointment” is on Foley Library's main webpage.
From there, you can select a librarian to view their availability for research consultations.
Any librarian can help with research questions no matter what the subject might be! However, the librarians all specialize in different subjects. Hover over the “i” to see their subject specialties.
You can select each librarian to find the soonest available time. In this case, we could refer the patron to make an appointment as soon as Aug 17 at 10 am.
Determine the time that would work best for the patron, select that time, and hit continue. This will bring you to a booking page where you can fill in their information for them.
Consultations can be made in person, over the phone, or via Zoom, so be sure to check which method the patron would prefer.
Be sure to hit the "Confirm Appointment" button to send the appointment information to both the librarian and the patron.
