Ask a Librarian
Who may use this service?
The primary goals of this service are to
support the information and research needs of the current students, faculty, and
staff of Alvernia University and to educate our users in the best methods to
access information. You can submit questions any time without leaving your
dorm, home, or office.
Who will answer my question?
A Reference Librarian at
the Dr. Frank A. Franco Library Learning Center.
What kinds of questions can I ask?
You can ask any
course-related research question you would ask at a reference desk in any
library. This might include:
| Brief answers to factual questions | Does the library have this journal? I need an address for... |
| Help with search strategies | Where should I start my research on...? I've looked..., where else should I look? |
| Info on library resources & services | I need help connecting to your catalog. How do I get a copy of this article...? |
In-depth research questions can be better addressed in person. Please call 610 796-5517 to schedule an appointment with one of the librarians.
When will my question be answered?
The mailbox is
monitored daily Monday - Friday, excluding major holidays. Questions submitted
on the weekend will be checked on Monday. We will get back to you within two
working days with either an answer to your question or a request for
clarification. If you need more immediate assistance, please phone the Library
at 610 796-5517.
