Visit the Ask A Librarian page http://ask.library.temple.edu to see the latest addition to our suite of services – Instant Messaging (IM).

We have just started a pilot period of offering reference assistance by IM. Librarians can be contacted through four major IM services (AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ) and are available to answer questions or help with research. The best way to know when we are online is to add the library to your buddy list.

The libraries’ usernames are:

AOL Instant Messaging (AIM): AskTULibrary
Yahoo Messenger: AskTULibrary
Microsoft Messenger (MSN): asktulib@temple.edu
ICQ: 225917375

So, send us a message. It’s a quick and easy way to chat with a librarian.
