Reference

Librarians are ready and excited to help the Wentworth community in a variety of ways. Pick your favorite!

• In-person: If you are coming to the Library and would like to speak to a Reference Librarian, you can come to the reference or circulation desk and ask to speak to a Reference Librarian. You can also schedule a research consultation if you have a set time you would like to work with a Librarian. 
• Chat: Schumann Library will provide a live chat service for Wentworth users Monday-Thursday 11AM-5PM, Fridays 1PM-4PM. Librarians are available to answer your questions in real-time about Library materials, resources, services, etc. You can access Library Chat by clicking the blue "Questions? Ask Us" tab on the right side of the Library website. 
• Reference email and liaison emails: You can also email ref@wit.edu at any time. Reference Librarians will respond to your inquiry within 24 hours of receipt. For faculty and students who want to speak directly to their subject liaison, you can contact them directly. 
• Virtual consultation via Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, or Reference Phone: Librarians are happy to assist you via Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams for immediate assistance. You can also schedule a research consultation. Reference Librarians are also available to speak with you over the phone during Library hours.
