Live Help - Chat/Instant Message

USF faculty, students, and staff can receive research help through our live chat service Monday through Friday, 10 am to 5 pm (fall term chat hours). 

  • We are closed for the following fall holidays: September 4 (Labor Day); Nov. 23-24 (Thanksgiving)
  • Occasionally, other chat closures may occur with short notice. For the most up-to-date notice of scheduling changes, refer to our Twitter feed: @usflawlib or the ZiefBrief Blog

Chat/IM is best for relatively discrete, straightforward questions. If you have a complicated question or project, the librarian on duty may ask you to make an appointment for a virtual research consultation. If you have reached us during our off hours, please consider submitting your question through our secure Ask the Zief Librarians page

This service is only for members of the USF community.
