Reference Librarians assist you in selecting appropriate databases, books, and Internet resources for assignments. We help you to develop effective search strategies, identify authoritative sources and statistics, and document your results with an appropriate citation style.

A librarian is available up until 9 P.M. during regular library hours (7 P.M. on Sundays). Come to the library or call us at 434-791-5692; 800-543-9440.

You can contact us 24 hours a day by e-mail or the Ask a Librarian web form.

We encourage you to "team up" with a librarian in your major field. Our interests are:

Aeronautics, Business, Computer Science, Economics, Education, History, Mathematics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology/Criminal Justice
