Peer-to-Peer Support Available Online Through the Library Search Bar

Looking for quick academic help? Penn State World Campus students can access Peer-to-Peer Virtual Services directly through the Search Bar — a service from Penn State University Libraries that makes it easy to find support when you need it.

Penn State students can meet virtually with another student (called a Peer Research Consultant) who can help with things like choosing/refining a topic, developing research questions, evaluating sources, navigating the Libraries’ website and resources, creating citation lists, and connecting with other departments, librarians, and services.
