How to Use

When IM is not available (or if you get no response because all librarians are busy), please use either 24/7 chat or email.

AIM, Yahoo and MSN IM Users:
Add all three names to your buddy list. If you don’t get a response from one, try the next:

CSUEBlib
CSUEBlib2
CSUEBlibconcord

24/7 Chat

Chat with a professional librarian using your web browser, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No account or special software is required.

Note: You will probably be communicating with a non-CSUEB librarian when you use 24/7 chat.

Email

CSUEB librarians will respond as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours during the normal work week.
