Getting Help: Ask a Librarian

If at any point in your research you have trouble finding or accessing the information you need, please contact a reference librarian. Reference librarians are trained and highly skilled in searching the online catalog, electronic databases and indexes, and the World Wide Web.

As a distance education student, you can access UNC Library Reference Services several different ways:

• By phone. By calling either Davis Library or the Health Sciences Library you can receive immediate assistance during any of the regular reference hours.

• Via email. Communicate your information need by filling out the appropriate request form. You may also send reference questions to the Institute on Aging Information Center by emailing aginginfo@unc.edu.

• Chat service through Live Online Help. During specified hours, both Davis Library and the Health Sciences Library provide "chat reference," a service that allows you to chat electronically with a reference librarian.

• IM a Librarian. Several campus libraries also offer an instant messaging service during specified hours.

For contact information, just click on the Ask-a-Librarian logo from the University Library's homepage.
