E-mail Reference Service
Contact Library faculty by e-mail with brief questions.
Who can use this service?
Current students, faculty and staff of Lehman College.
What is available through E-mail Reference?
Questions of any kind may be
posted, but it is best suited for brief,
fact-based questions, access problems, or queries related to best resource
options or starting points for research. Library
faculty will assist with research-related tasks, including brief
instructions on using the online catalog, databases and other
resources.
However, we will not interpret information; provide legal, medical or financial
advice; or complete answers for class assignments. For
in-depth research consultations, please visit the Library in person.
This service does
not provide answers to "factual" questions (e.g.,
"What is the G.D.P. of China?"). We
may instead recommend resources to help answer your question.
How long will it take to get a response?
We generally respond to questions within 48 hours, excluding holidays.
What if you don't receive a response?
One of the most
common reasons for not receiving a response is mistyping your e-mail address. Please
confirm your e-mail address before clicking the "Submit" button. If
you haven't received a response within 48 hours (excluding weekends and
holidays), you should resubmit your question and make certain your e-mail
address is correct.
Can’t wait for an answer?
