Starting in September 2017, the Library will operate a virtual reference service during normal weekday business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). Click the “Help – Chat” widget on any of our library pages to chat with a living, breathing library staff member. As well, we are happy to arrange in-person appointments for detailed research questions with both students and Faculty. We also offer instruction services, where we teach critical information literacy skills to students.
