Getting Started: Students

Meet with a Librarian

We're here to help.

You don't have to research alone. Librarians are available to partner with you at any stage of your project. They can help you develop a research topic, suggest recommended resources or help you choose sources to use, and they can help you put it all together for an assignment. Many members of the library staff have graduate degrees in theology or related disciplines, so they can help you as subject specialists on a variety of topics.

Ways to Book a Consultation:

• Email paynelib@vts.edu >
• Ask at the Circulation Desk > ask at the circulation desk for research help. Remember, you're never "bothering" the circulation desk staffer; they're there for you!
• Schedule a Meeting with Vincent Williams, User Services Librarian > Meet with Vincent at any stage of your project, in-person or via Zoom.
