The purpose of the RAP is to teach students and faculty how to identify and use a variety of library resources (including electronic resources) relevant to particular research needs.  Liaison librarians are available by appointment for individual consultations, or RAP sessions, to provide this in-depth research assistance.  This service is available to Saint Louis University students, faculty, and staff working on research projects.

The RAP is not a substitute for formal course-related or course-integrated library instruction.  Faculty members are encouraged to contact their department's liaison librarian to schedule instructional sessions, discuss library assignments, and arrange for instructional support materials.

To schedule a RAP, students and faculty should call or e-mail his/her liaison librarian or stop by or call the reference desk, at 977-3103.
