Chat with us
UVic Libraries staff are available to chat with you on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We can answer many of your questions directly. Ask us any questions you have about how to use the library or how to find library materials.
For in-depth research or assignment help, we can:
- connect you to a global chat network librarian (mainly US-based) for help right away, or
- help you set up a later appointment with a UVic librarian.
On evenings and weekends, a global chat network librarian will respond to your chat.
