Reference & Instruction Services Department
Mission:
The goal of the Reference & Instruction Services Department at the William H. Hannon Library is to fulfill the University's mission in the encouragement of learning, the education of the whole person, and the service of faith and the promotion of justice. Reference & Instruction Services serves this mission by providing a high level of service within a technologically advanced learning environment to support collaborative and individual research.
Service:
Reference staff are available to assist patrons in-person, via telephone, or online with their research, information, and basic computing questions. We provide customized group instruction for classes upon request as well as individual appointments. For more information, please visit the Information Desk, call (310) 338-2790, or find us online.
Restrictions:
While LMU librarians will do their best to help with every patron's unique needs in the library and information commons, please be aware that reference staff do not interpret research, proofread student papers, answer homework or test questions, compile full bibliographies, recommend or aid in Internet purchases or legal/tax/medical advice, or repair patrons' personal computers. For help with tutoring and writing, contact the Learning Resource Center. For more in-depth computing questions, contact the ITS Help Desk.
