Ask a Librarian!
The COD Library offers the "Ask a Librarian" virtual chat service to help COD students
quickly get research help. You can access this service by clicking the "Ask a Librarian"
chat button on this page or anywhere on the Library's website.
During the Library's hours of operation, librarians are available both online and in-person to assist you with finding physical
books, eBooks, articles, and streaming films. They can also provide research support
and citation assistance. If you need a demonstration of searching databases, librarians
can guide you through the process using our chat service's screen-sharing tool. You
can also visit the Reference Librarian's desk at the Palm Desert Campus Library.
