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 4 pm (summer term chat hours).

We are closed for the following summer holidays: May 30 (Memorial Day); June 20 (Juneteenth observed); July 4 (Independence Day).
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

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.

This service is only for members of the USF community.
