Research Consultations

The Mitchell Memorial Library Research Services Department offers a research consultation service for students, faculty, and staff. This is an individualized, one-on-one instruction session with a librarian to discuss possible information resources and search strategies for class assignments, papers, presentations, Master's degree theses, and doctoral dissertations. Librarians can also help with a general orientation to the print and online resources available at MSU.

You may schedule a consultation by completing the form here, by completing a consultation form at the Research Services Desk, or by calling the Department at 662-325-7667.

You can also chat with a librarian live, call or stop by the main Research Services Desk, or email a librarian as part of our Ask A  Librarian service.  Whatever your research topic, our Subject Specialists are here to help you. 

Look for this logo at the top right of every Library web page to access research assistance.
