What kinds of questions can I ask?
Our Chat service is an extension of our in-person, phone, and e-mail Research Help service. We're available to provide research help, advice and assistance on any research topic. In order to provide the best help we can, we might recommend you email or call a Research Help Assistant or Liaison Librarian with specific subject expertise.
