This service provides immediate assistance to students and faculty using the Library remotely, especially as they access electronic resources for course assignments and research. E-mail, phone and in-person reference are other ways of reaching Lehman's reference librarians through "Ask Us!"
Beginning a chat session is easy. Simply click on "Ask Us!" on the library homepage:

Choose "24/7 Chat" - and within seconds, a Lehman librarian or librarian from CUNY or our global network will respond with a greeting acknowledging your question.
Please try it - then let us know what you think.
The Leonard Lief Library is pleased to launch a new service called Research Guides to help students conduct their research. Research Guides is an online service students can use to find information on academic subjects (Education, Social Work, etc.).
These guides contain listings of resources for finding information, such as databases (for finding articles), books, webpages, or other useful resources recommended by subject librarians. Through Research Guides, library faculty can also create course-specific guides to provide students with information taught in a library research workshop.
To truly understand Research Guides, one should see it in action: http://libguides.lehman.edu/
We’d love to hear your response to this new service! Please direct feedback to:
