Appointments with Kathleen
Click on SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT, above.
I usually hold Zoom appointments on evenings and weekends because I am off -campus. When I'm on campus I make myself available live and in person. However, I can easily switch in-person appointments to Zoom if that works better for you. Just say so in the notes and I'll send you a Zoom link.

If none of my posted availability works for you, please email me. We will make it work.

Stay safe! Stay engaged! Stay enrolled!

Welcome to Researching Writers and Their Work

This guide is designed to help students navigate independently through assignments requiring research on writers of all genres, as well as literary works like novels, short stories, poems, and plays. If you find you need additional help, please remember that MJC Research Librarians are happy to work with you and can help you in person at the reference desk, by phone, or email.

How This Guide Works:

You can pick and choose topics that interest you and jump around in the guide
