Do I need to make an appointment to get research help?
Answer
Appointments are recommended but not required. If you need immediate help you can chat with a Cal State LA librarian during business hours and with one of our partnership librarians 24/7.
You can make an appointment with a Student Research Consultant through your MyCalStateLA. Follow the steps below to make your appointment. If you're looking for a specific item (e.g., book) you can also use chat or email us from the Research Help page.
