Polk Library News
Do you have a full schedule and need library help at odd hours? No problem! A live chat, ask-a-librarian service called AskAway is staffed 24/7 by librarians. From the front page of Polk Library website, you can find the ask-a-librarian link on the right side of the page, under Research Help. Ask a librarian about how to find books or journal articles and more. Try it! If you don’t prefer live chat on the computer, you can always e-mail your reference question to a Polk librarian at: infodesk@uwosh.edu.
