The Ask-A-Librarian instant messaging service, widgets on our websites, and text messaging services are currently having technical difficulty. Our provider’s servers are currently down, but they are working on restoring the services.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
For the meantime please call the Reference Desk if you need any help (570 – 941 – 4000) OR use the 24/7 Chat service to get help from a librarian at another Jesuit University.
Our Ask a Librarian via IM service will be down on Sunday, June 5 and Monday, June 6 due to upgrades to the system.
If you need assistance from a librarian during the outage, please feel free to email, chat 24/7, or call the Reference Desk at 570-941-4000 during business hours.
Thank you for your patience!
Due to the weather conditions the library will be closing at 8pm tonight (Tuesday, January 18, 2011).
The Library’s two 24 hour rooms will be open for student use and are accessible by swiping your Royal Card. Both 24 hour rooms have computer access and printing is available.
Help is available for any questions you may have through the library’s Virtual Reference Service. You can Chat 24/7 with a librarian by clicking the embedded link.
Be safe, everyone!
We’re already halfway through the semester, which means Fall Break is here. Even the Library takes a break at this point in the semester, which means we’ll have limited hours this weekend:
We reopen at 8:00 am on Tuesday, October 12th. Also, the Pro Deo Room as well as the New 24 Hour Space will be open all weekend, and are accessible by swiping your Royal Card. You can also get help from a librarian while we’re closed via our 24/7 Chat Reference service.
Enjoy the time off everyone!
