New Ask a Librarian Chatbot is Waiting for Your Questions

Click on it and you can chat with a librarian.

Librarians can help you find textbooks, information about campus happenings, and are especially eager to help you with your research or just find the answer to basic questions. So, if you are on our web page looking for information to complete your assignment and you are lost, confused, or just don't know where to go ... ask a librarian!

Remember: when you see the "..." in the word balloon, a librarian is waiting for your question! Ask a Librarian.
