• 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.
