Welcome to the new semester! Need help with research? We are here to help!
There are many ways that you can connect to librarians for research assistance.
You can connect with a librarian virtually via chat with the hours below:
Monday-Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
You can also ask your questions via email: Library_Reference@stonybrook.edu, call (631) 632-7148, schedule a research consultation, or reach out directly to your librarian.
