Chat & FAQ

You can chat live with a librarian 24 hours a day, seven days per week. When you start an online chat, you will not always be chatting with a librarian at JCC, but you will be chatting with a reference librarian. Any librarian who answers can help with questions about the library and connect you to JCC library resources for research.

If you need assistance specifically from the JCC Libraries, your question will be referred and we will follow up with you via email. Referrals and questions submitted using the online form will be answered within one business day.
