Get Help

 

There are numerous ways you can get help from your friendly librarians. 

  • Come in and see us!  You can find a librarian on the third floor of the library at the Information and Research Help Desk in the atrium at the top of the stairs.  There is normally a librarian on duty whenever the library is open, except on Saturdays. (We usually start closing up about 30 minutes before the library closes.) 
  • Call us on the phone.  Sometimes you just can't make it to the library, or you run into trouble accessing materials from home.  You can call the library at 423-354-2429 during regular hours and ask to speak to a librarian.  We can help you with searching, citations, and accessing library materials over the phone.
  • Chat with us live online.  Every page of the library website has a slide-out tab on the right for starting a live chat with a librarian.  A librarian is available most times during open hours.  If a librarian is not available, you can submit your question and receive an answer back within one business day. 
  • You can also send questions via email to libmail@northeaststate.edu.  This service is not for time-sensitive matters or in-depth searching.  The email gets checked several times daily, but if you need an answer right away, you will need to come in, chat, or call.
