You need to find the answer to a question. You've been searching online without success. You know you could wait til the library opens to ask your question, but you really wish you could just go online and ask your question in a virtual library right away. Actually, you can do just that.

Maryland libraries are a part of the Ask Us Now! 24 hour, seven day a week virtual reference service available at askusnow.com. You can actually talk to a reference librarian in real time through a chat window and chat back and forth until you have the information you need.

You can connect through your local library's webpage or through the main site page, but the libraries prefer that you use the local library page.

Don't have a library card? Need to ask your question en Espanol? No problem. The system is set up so people who don't have a card or who need to speak to a Spanish speaking librarian can still get the help they need.

Free access to the people who can answer your burning questions 24/7? Maryland students have a wonderful research resource here!
