Speak with a Librarian
Research help is just a phone call away. Call our reference desk (408 855-5151) during regular library open hours and speak with a librarian about your research needs.
When the library is closed, you can still get help with research for your Mission College courses by using the Library Reference Request Form. However, because we cannot guarantee a response in less than 24 hours, your best option is to come in or talk to a librarian during the Library’s open hours.
