Please visit our FAQ for details on access and services available in the library this fall semesterhttps://libguides.hofstra.edu/FAQ .

Research Assistance - Fall, 2020

Research assistance will be available from anywhere live via Chat and Zoom 60+ hours a week, Monday-Sunday.  You may chat with a librarian through the pop-out link on the library home page: https://www.hofstra.edu/library/.  Through chat, librarians can share your screen and guide you through searches of relevant library resources, assist you with citing your sources, recommend online databases, etc.  Walk-up reference services will not be available.  HOWEVER, if you are in the Axinn Library - or anywhere else in the world - you may chat live with a librarian by visiting the library home page and clicking on the LIVE CHAT button on the right side of the page. 

LIVE CHAT FROM LIBRARY HOME PAGE

You may make a research appointment by visiting: https://libcal.hofstra.edu/appointments/.  Appointments are one-on-one and enable you to a conversation about your research and clarify your information needs.  If the reference desk is closed, you may text or email your research questions to our reference librarians 24/7 by visiting: https://libanswers.hofstra.edu/.  We will respond to your inquiries ASAP when the reference desk hours resume.

Resources

Our library faculty serve as subject specialists in assigned fields.  Please look at our list of subject specialists to identify the library faculty who can best support your research: http://www.hofstra.edu/library/library_contact.html#facsubject.
