The Instruction staff member will help you determine how your research might best be approached, introduce you to basic print and non-print resources, explain to you how to use them, and may even refer you to the subject librarian if enough resources cannot be located. <strong>This service is provided for undergraduates only</strong>.</p><p class="bodytext"><strong>What it isn't?</strong><br /> The Instruction staff will focus on the research -- not the composition -- process. For assistance with writing or editing your paper or speech, you should contact the <a href="http://www.siue.edu/IS/WRITING/" target="_self">Writing Center</a> in Peck Hall, Room 1419. </p><p class="bodytext"><strong>How do I arrange a Library Consultation?</strong><br />Appointments may be arranged a minimum of <span style="font-weight: 700">3 working days in advance</span> by completing the form below.
