There are two ways librarians can help you personally with your research.

Drop-in Research Help: No appointment needed. Just walk into the Library & Learning Center on East campus during our regular hours and a librarian will be at the Research Help desk to work with you.

Research Appointments: Back by popular demand, we are also offering 30-minute research appointments. To schedule an appointment, click on the button below. You can also choose to work with a particular librarian or just choose any one of us who is available at the time you need. Once you schedule your appointment, your librarian will contact you with your meeting information.

Librarians are part of your School support network. Please feel free to contact us for help or advice.

Your MJC librarians created these guides to help you with your research for particular classes, for an assignment, or to learn research skills.

All of this help is free and all you have to do is contact us!

Your MJC librarians can help you with a wide variety of research-related tasks. For example, we can help you:

Understand your assignment or writing prompt
Define your research topic
Find background information to get you started
Help you create your research questions to focus your search for information and the flow of your paper
Find detailed information from reliable sources to answer your research questions and build a body of evidence for the points you want to make in your paper or speech
Learn to format your paper in the style required by your teacher. These are typically MLA, APA, or Chicago styles
