The library offers a number of means for you to Ask a Librarian for research help and information. Besides visiting our service desks in the library, you can phone us, email us, and chat with us online. This week we introduce another way to Ask A Librarian: text messages (SMS). Now you can send us a text message with a question, and we’ll send a reply back to your phone or mobile device. Simply send your messages to:

We’ll do our best to give you as complete an answer as possible. Be aware, while you can send us messages during off-hours (late at night, early in the morning) don’t expect a reply until the morning working hours. (You probably know the drill, but: Standard text messaging fees may apply, depending on your service plan.)
