Library Academic Support Centre: Students: Appointments & Queries

Prepare for your Appointment

Before your appointment, there are a few things you can do to prepare:
Provide us with a copy of your work so we can review it before we meet with you.
If you need help with referencing, make sure you have taken a look at the NCI Referencing Guide before your appointment. 
Have a notepad and a pen or your laptop with you so you can take notes about what is discussed.

Appointments

Why request an appointment?

If you are working on a assignment or research and need advice on the following:

  • Using online resources
  • Finding good quality sources
  • Search techniques
  • Referencing
  • Academic writing (structure and style)
  • Literature reviews & theses/dissertations

How do you request an appointment?

Select the Request an Appointment button on the top right of this page, select appointment type (in-person or online), choose an available date and time and fill out the booking form. Please provide us with as much information as you can and include a copy of any relevant documents. 

Once you have submitted your request, a member of the Library Academic Support Centre will be in touch to confirm your booking. If your appointment is online we will send you a meeting invitation via MS Teams.

Please email the Library Academic Support Centre if you require an appointment outside of the hours available.

Remote Assistance Via Email

We also provide remote assistance via email for assignments and research. Send us an email (libraryacademicsupportcentre@ncirl.ie) with your query as well as any documents (i.e. copy of your assignment, assignment brief etc.) and we will provide you with feedback and advice as soon as we can.
