Why should I book an appointment?
Consultation Appointments are scheduled meeting times with a librarian or specialist and are available for current students, faculty, and staff of Texas State University. An appointment with our library staff can help you work smarter, not harder, and meet your research goals! One-on-one research assistance is available in person or online.
