MLL Student Reference Guide: Home

This guide is a resource for college students of all ages who need support while performing online research

Welcome!

This guide is a resource for college students (of all ages!) who need to use their University Libraries to complete assignments. You can reach out to the librarians at your school, but it is important to remember that public librarians can also help! If you find it intimidating to reach out to a librarian, hopefully, this guide can be the support you need to get started on your assignments. If you would like to speak with a librarian and get one-on-one support from the Mattituck Laurel Library, please email chloe.janis@mattlibrary.org. I am happy to set up an appointment, help you access an article, or answer any quick questions you may have.
