Ask a Librarian

We offer several ways to get in touch with USF Librarians. Choose the method you prefer, and we’ll be happy to assist.

Online research consultations with a subject librarian are available by appointment Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Consultations should be scheduled at least 3 business days in advance. You will need an internet-enabled device (preferably a computer) with built-in or external speakers and microphone.
