Arrange a one-on-one appointment that fits your schedule
Consultations can be held virtually or on the phone. Appointments are 30 minutes long.
We can help with the following requests:
- Finding books, articles, and websites
- Discussing and narrowing a topic for a research paper or assignment
- Refining your searching techniques
- Choosing the highest-quality information to use
Librarians cannot answer legal questions, and appointment coverage is limited to Otterbein-specific courses or assignments.
Appointments requested less than 24 hours in advance cannot be guaranteed. Call the Research Help Desk at (614-823-1984) if you have any questions.
