Appointment-based research help services provided by librarians to undergraduate students are prevalent in academic libraries. This study examines the delivery and description of these services using information gathered from library websites. The most common appointment-making mechanisms within the sample included the ability to pick a date and time, contacting a librarian using a directory listing, and completing an appointment request form. Descriptions of the service varied and were analyzed using a checklist of common details. The results and implementation considerations can be useful guides to developing public services and marketing.
