Library Services

There are several ways to get research assistance from a FGCU librarian, via telephone, face-to-face or electronically.
 
 
Via telephone
 

There is a Reference Librarian or trained Library Technical Assistant available at (239) 590-7630  during daytime, evening and weekend hours.  This service is available to answer many types of brief questions, and for online help with the Library's website or a particular database. It is especially helpful when the questioner can be online while simultaneously on the telephone.
