Research Assistance Appointment

Complete this form and click the Submit button at the bottom of the form. A librarian will contact you by e-mail to discuss your needs and, if necessary, schedule an appointment.

A Research Assistance Appointment is an opportunity for GWU students, faculty, and staff to receive assistance with library research.

Please note that the intended audience for this service are those individuals who require more extensive assistance than can be rendered at the Reference & Information Desk or via e-mail or IM. In most cases, these alternatives should be tried first before requesting an appointment, as they are frequently sufficient and can provide more timely responses to individual research needs.

Please allow at least 2 business days for a response to this request. Appointments are usually conducted Monday - Friday 9am-5pm, or Saturday 12 noon-5pm.
