Research consultations today

Today is the first day of this fall's research consultations. Due to some-last minute cancellations yesterday, there are a few openings left for this week's appointments (as of 9:23 am, that is). If you are at the desk, please encourage students to consider taking one of the remaining appointments for today or Thursday (check the online sign-up schedule first before making this recommendation, though).

By 12 noon, Alfredo or I will bring out the day's schedule of appointments to the reference desk in case students have forgotten who they are meeting with or what room they need to go to. For those of you who have research consultation appointments today, I'll give you a copy of this schedule too by noon. I'll also be giving you this packet of materials:

• the blue "Reference Desk Referral Form" (fill out for the student you meet with as needed)
• the student survey form
• the librarian summary report

For those of you who have appointments on Thursday or in the coming weeks, I'll get you your packet of materials in the next day or so. Please contact me if you have any questions.
