How It Works

A MyTRENT login is required for this service.

Most appointments last approximately 30 minutes.You can book up to two weeks ahead of time.

Librarian availability will vary but typically appointments are available Monday-Friday between 9:30am and 5pm. You can choose a librarian and a date/time from the options provided.

After you book an appointment, a confirmation email is sent to you and to the librarian you booked with. You can cancel or change your appointment time using the link in the email.

You'll receive a zoom invitation from the librarian by email at least an hour before your appointment. The invitation includes instructions on how to connect.

  • If you don't receive the invitation, email the librarian you booked with - you'll find email addresses on the subject librarian pages.
