Q. Hello, does this Ask a Librarian chat button work?

It does!

You can get help with research and citations 24/7! If it is 2 in the morning and you need a source, head to COM Library and get started with the Ask a Librarian! chat button. You will get help from real live people, and it's available from every COM Library page! Just start chatting with us and we'll help you.

During library hours COM Library staff will still be answering chats, but when we close, real academic librarians working at colleges from around the world will hop online to help you out. They can help with all the same things that our library staff do, like helping you find scholarly articles, primary sources and grabbing citations.

We never use AI or robots to help our students, so our chat button makes it clear: Ask a Librarian!
