Get Research Help from the Ronald Williams Library
While we are happy to offer you the convenience of instant messaging (IM), text messaging (SMS), and AskAway chat reference, please remember that in-depth research questions are best answered in person or on the phone.
IM, text messaging, and AskAway chat should be used for brief, factual questions.
Also, priority will be given to people who visit the Reference Desk in person. If using the phone, IM, text, or AskAway chat, you may experience a brief wait if our librarians are helping other people.
