an online reference service

Have a question? Ask an IPL Librarian!

(Use our Contact Us form for questions/suggestions about our site.)

The Ask an IPL Librarian Reference Service will close between academic terms beginning December 20, 2007 at 10 p.m. (EST). We will reopen the service on Monday, January 5, 2008 at Noon (EST). We use this time to work behind the scenes to improve this service. Happy Holidays from all of us at the IPL!
