Ask A Librarian
|
Students don't have to come to the Library's Research Assistance Desk to get
help from a librarian. Email and real-time (chat) questions are
answered through the Ask A Librarian service. We can help you get
started, find a specific fact, suggest other resources and strategies,
use a library database, or even search the web. |

|
ILLiad
 |
ILLiad provides access to research
material not available in the Library. We obtain
materials not owned by the library on the Austin
Peay State University campus. Check the Library
Catalog first to see if what you need is
available in
Austin. Requests for
materials that are available in Austin cannot be
processed. If you need help using Austin,
inquire at the Research Assistance Desk (RAD)
via
Ask A Librarian.
