Feeling stuck?... Have Question?

Get help from a Himmelfarb librarian without leaving your computer.

Himmelfarb Library is running a trial that provides IM (Instant Message/Chat) communication with Himmelfarb librarians. Using this service you can chat with a librarian and get answers to your research or library-related questions right from your computer. During the trial, the IM service is available Monday-Friday from 11am until 5pm.

To contact Himmelfarb Library via IM, you can use your own IM account or you can click on ‘Ask a Librarian’ on Himmelfarb Library’s website. The Ask A Librarian webpage (http://www.gwumc.edu/library/ask/) provides a ‘MeeboMe’ box which will allow you to contact a Himmelfarb librarian using your web window.

If you use your own IM account, Himmelfarb Library’s screen-names are:

AIM - himlib
Yahoo - himlib
MSN - library@gwumc.edu
Google Talk - himmelfarblib

If you are interested, but new to Instant Messaging, please talk with a librarian at our Reference Desk in person, by phone at (202) 994-2850, or by email at library@gwumc.edu.
