Meet with a Librarian

Need help with research, annotations, or citations? Schedule an appointment to meet with a Librarian!

We are happy to meet in person at the library or virtually over Zoom. We may also be available for drop-in reference depending on our schedules; feel free to check when you're visiting the library.

Contact the Circulation Desk

Visit us in the library during our open hours, or reach out via:

Schedule an Appointment

To view item(s) from Otis' Special Collections, contact Morgan Yanni (myanni@otis.edu), our Reference and Special Collections Librarian, and/or schedule an appointment through Bookings.

Please give at least one week's notice before your desired viewing time so we can adequately prepare. Make sure to review our Special Collections Viewing Guidelines. We welcome outside visitors!

General rules:

• Due to concerns of fragility/stability, some items cannot be handled. You are still welcome to view them, but please do not touch. The librarian will set them up for you.
• Wash your hands before viewing and/or handling materials. Why?: This reduces the amount of oils and dirt in contact with the materials, which will contribute to their disintegration.
• For handwritten notes, use a graphite pencil (we have them available). Do not use any pens or ink around the materials. Why?: If a mark is accidentally made, pencil can be removed more easily than ink.
• Photographs without flash are permitted. Please do not publish or otherwise post photos without the library's permission.
• No food or drink. Closed water is okay, but it should be kept away from the item(s).
