We're here to help! There are a multitude of ways you can connect with a librarian, both on and off campus. Explore our service below.
Oakland University participates in a cooperative of librarians who provide chat services for patrons across the globe: day or night, librarians will be available to offer research support. If OU librarians aren’t available, you’ll be connected with another librarian who can help you. Don’t worry - we give them plenty of details to best serve you.
We're typically available Monday through Friday, 9am - 11am & 12pm - 3pm.
