A guide to the Ball State University Libraries' resources and services for students and faculty participating in Online & Distance Education programs.

Research Help

We would be happy to talk with you about your research. You can ask a question via chat, email, phone and more using our Ask-a-Librarian services.

Request a Virtual Appointment

If you cannot come to the library in person, you may meet with a librarian remotely through Zoom, WebEx, or Skype.

In addition to talking about your research, librarians can also share their screens with you so you can see search techniques and research strategies in action. Request an appointment by following the instructions below!

Appointments may last from 30 - 60 minutes and are generally scheduled between 8am and 5pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday. Special requests for evening and/or weekend appointments will be accommodated if possible; be aware that such requests may require more lead-time.
