The Reference Librarians will be available in the Library to help patrons with their questions, to assist them in their research, and to provide instruction on library resources and research techniques.
Reference help is available from Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
In-person interactions are welcome both as walk-ins and as scheduled appointments. All appointments will take place at the Reference Desks, located in the Aurelian Wing, the Upper Reading Room, and the Reference Office of the Frohring Library.
A variety of reference appointments can be scheduled with one of the Reference Librarians. You can use the booking system to choose the type and length of appointment, the day and time, and the Reference Librarian.
Appointments will be available remotely only via Microsoft Teams and they are all set to Rome time zone.
