Here's the step-by-step:
The appointment scheduler will add you onto your librarian's schedule at the time you chose. You just need to show up!
Note: The appointment scheduler only lets you choose times the librarian is not busy. No need to send a bunch of emails to find out when they're available to help!
It's possible you'll want to meet with a librarian other than the one for your major at some point. For example, you might wish to meet with the English-specialist librarian if you are working on a research paper for an English class you're taking. To find out who that is and how to contact them, use the Library's "Find Your Librarian" page.
Librarians are organized by subject on this page, so find the subject you are interested in. You'll find the contact information for the librarian, plus a link to make an appointment. This will either prompt you to email the librarian or open up an appointment scheduler (in which case, follow the steps above).
