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.

Meet with a Librarian in-person

Schedule a daytime appointment in-person with a librarian.

Appointments are not available for evening hours between 5-9PM but a librarian will be available at the Reference / Information desk to meet with you. Just come in.

If you cannot come to the library during the scheduled In-person Reference hours, you can Live Chat with a librarian throughout most of the day, Monday through Friday. If we are not available on chat, email us at reference@raritanval.libanswers.com and someone will get back to you with an answer or to set up a time to chat or meet.
