Starfish Referrals

Faculty can use Starfish to make referrals to the Library for either Technology assistance or Research assistance.

Use the Library Research Assistance Referral for students who need help choosing or narrowing a paper topic, completing academic research, or citing APA or MLA sources.

Use the Library Technology Referral for students who need personalized help with Canvas or other software (do not use for laptop requests).

Faculty can also use Notes to share instructions with students about how to apply for a laptop.  Add the Informational: Program Student Laptop Application Note or the Informational: Adult Basic Ed Laptop Application Note and check the box to copy the student.
