Chat & Email Reference
The Library participates in an online chat and email reference service called Ask-a-Librarian. If you need research assistance and would like the convenience of chatting online to a librarian or if you would like to submit a reference question and receive a response by email, please use this free service. Please note, during some hours your question may be answered by librarians not affiliated with USF Saint Petersburg.
