Ideally, it should be one that suggests either an office or a 1:1 interaction (as opposed to one taken at a service desk). The calendaring appointment system is new, so we're trying to highlight that (while reminding users of how else they can get help). I also wasn't sure if we were concerned about using maskless images from the before times - I might be overthinking this. But I trust your judgment on that.","featuredListImg":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/09\/Consult-Screen-Shot-_657x256_acf_cropped.png","homeImg":false,"listImg":false,"homepage_post_title":"","featuredArticle":"false"},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-10"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32294\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.mit.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
