Getting Help

Subject Librarians
FSU Libraries offers a subject librarian to each department, school, and program who provides tailored instruction and research assistance for students and faculty. Each subject librarian serves as a department's first point of contact for information about library resources and services, and also selects materials to support students and their current course curricula.
Virtual Reference Live Chat (Ask-a-Librarian)
Ask a Librarian provides FSU students, faculty, and staff with virtual reference services through live chat and text messaging whenever the library is open.
Research Consultations
A consultation with a librarian who specializes in your area of study will be able to assist with your research needs at any level. Request a consultation by completing the web form linked above or emailing the appropriate subject librarian.
