Chat with a Librarian
If chat is unavailable, you can send us an email instead.
RVCC Library Chat services can be used for a variety of simple research questions, such as:
- General library information like hours, contact info, or policies
- How to find books, articles, and other sources on a specific topic
- What database to use for specific assignments
For in-depth research questions, it might be better to Email a librarian or schedule to meet with a librarian.
Chats may be terminated and the user banned for using inappropriate or rude language, harassment of any kind, or repeated off-topic comments. Read the full Virtual Reference Services Policy.
