Ask-a-Librarian
(For online chat and IM reference assistance)

Please contact me using the online instruction request form, by phone or via email if you are a TA and would like to schedule a library orientation/database instruction session for your class group. I am also happy to meet with you individually to discuss library services and collections to support your research needs.

The Education & Social Science Library continues to expand our Web and electronic resources to assist you in locating the materials that you need, while still providing trained staff to assist you at our reference desk from 9am until we close on weekdays, and during all open hours on weekends.

I look forward to working with you!
