Schedule a Research Appointment - Online in Zoom

Make an appointment in 3 steps. Step 1: Select a staff member. Step 2: Select an available date. Step 3: Select an available timeslot.

Use this option to schedule an online appointment with a Montgomery College librarian. If you prefer an in-person appointment, use the pull-down menu above to select a different option.

Two types of appointments are available:

  • Research Appointment (30 minutes): get started with your research, find the best places to search, develop a search strategy, or follow up with a librarian after they met with your class.
  • In-Depth Research Appointment (45 minutes): find specific types of resources, work on complex research assignments, or find primary sources.

Please be aware that librarians don't read papers or review lists of citations. For help with writing or editing your paper, or reviewing your citations, please contact any of the three Writing, Reading, and Language Centers.

After you schedule an online appointment, you will receive an email from LibCal <alerts@mail.libcal.com> with a Zoom link to connect at your appointment time. Please make sure you enter your email address correctly so that you receive the Zoom link as well as appointment reminders. If no Zoom link is provided, please reach out to the librarian you booked with as soon as possible so they can create one. If you can't find your email, check your spam/junk folder, or chat with a librarian for help.

If you are a faculty member looking to schedule a session for your class, please see our Instruction Request Form.
