Library Services
You can use the Ask a Librarian service for questions about library resources, research assignments or other information. We offer Chat, Text, or you can also email a question to us. Turn around for email is quick, usually w/in a few hours or by the next day if sent in after 9pm.
You can also make an online or face to face appointment with a reference librarian. Here's more information about individual research consultations.
