Request a one-on-one research consultation with a librarian

If you are working on a capstone or thesis project, you can book a 30-minute consultation appointment with a John Jay librarian. The librarian will provide personalized guidance and recommendations based on your research topic or assignment. We can help you to: develop a narrower research question; plan your research strategy; identify relevant sources of information; find and evaluate sources.

One-on-one research consultations are intended for more advanced research projects only. Questions about capstone and thesis projects are especially welcome. Please fill out the consultation form to make an appointment.

More general questions about a topic or research assignment are handled by reference desk librarians. Please note that you can always ask a librarian for help at the reference desk without making an appointment. When available, librarians are also staffing chat during library regular hours.
