Request a Research Appointment

Individual library users who have already begun their research, but need in-depth help from a librarian, may request a research appointment. If you need immediate assistance or need help getting started with research, please visit the Reference Desk or use the online Chat with a Librarian service. Research appointments are intended primarily for CSULB students, faculty, and staff.

The following guidelines apply:

We will try to accommodate your appointment within 2 - 4 days during the weekday hours of 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Other appointment times (after 5:00 p.m. or weekends) may be available at the discretion of individual librarians.

Your notification from the librarian (with date, time and location) will confirm your appointment.

Use our Library Tutorial if you want to learn more about basic library skills.

If you are having technical problems please use our Technical Problem Report Form.

The submitted request will be sent directly to the librarian responsible for your discipline. The fields on the request form marked with ** are required.
