Purdue Libraries’ reference service has many options available, whether the physical library is open or not. In fact, Libraries is never closed to people who need information. Choose text for short answers, chat for 1:1 conversational assistance or email for more comprehensive assistance.

Purdue Libraries’ NEW Ask a Librarian website focuses on letting students choose the assistance which fits their needs. For more information visit: www.lib.purdue.edu/askalib
