Quite a few members of the Temple community are doing just that: from faculty to staff, undergrad to doctoral students. Everyone is taking the time to Ask a Librarian.<\/p>\n<p>In the middle of researching a paper, you have to choose between finding a source and finding some lunch, and it looks like lunch is losing? Have no fear (or grumbly stomachs!); simply log on to Ask a Librarian and select TalkNow to chat with one of Temple&#8217;s many expert librarians. TalkNow is very similar to the chat programs you&#8217;re used to, except it&#8217;s super-sized. More than just electronically conversing, you can actually co-browse with a librarian and learn just how to search for books, how to find full-text articles, or even how to request material via Interlibrary Loan, all from the comfort of your study nook or laptop!<\/p>\n<p>Is it after hours and you&#8217;re already burning the candle at both ends trying to make sense of an assignment? Or, do you simply have a question but not the time to tramp on down to Paley Library at 10:30 pm? Then, Email Reference holds the answer for you! Email a librarian directly and get a response within hours (sometimes even minutes). From questions about your circulation record to how to access the databases from home to whether or not Temple has a certain book, Email Reference is the way to go for after-hours questions.<\/p>\n<p>Still not convinced? Consider this: as many as ten Temple students, faculty, and staff members log on and use TalkNow or Email Reference everyday. In many cases, this is not their first time using it! You&#8217;ve got nothing to lose, but everything to gain! Log on and Ask a Librarian today!<\/p>\n<p>To access TalkNow and Email Reference, as well as a list of available hours and other resources, point your browser to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ask.library.temple.edu\/\">http:\/\/ask.library.temple.edu<\/a>. It&#8217;s easy, it&#8217;s informative, and it&#8217;s at your fingertips.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Heather Sparks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What we can do for you.
