ONLINE RESOURCES: Ask a Librarian

The DSLCC Library is currently closed due to the pandemic, and we miss our students! But did you know that you can always Ask a Librarian? If you need assistance with an upcoming research project or if you have questions about using any of our online library resources, this is for you.

On our site, you have the option to open a chat or to simply submit a question directly to us. Questions can be about focusing your research topic, beginning your search for sources, or locating more sources on your topic. Or if you have questions about how to use our online search features, you can also ask these here as well.

Please note that Ask a Librarian is not to be used for medical or legal questions, and librarians do not provide opinions, interpretations, proofreading services, or citations. Please keep in mind that if you need questions answered overnight or outside of library hours, the librarian who assists you may not be from DSLCC.

Also, please remember that the Dabney Library is currently taking appointments for materials pick-up. If there is a certain book you need for your research project, or if you wish to borrow a laptop for your coursework, please email nwright@dslcc.edu at least one day in advance.
