Library Resources

The UVA Libraries offer help searching for sources, locating books and articles, learning how to use technical equipment and software, and much more. Visit their website to learn more. This page includes a list of resources for undergraduate students specifically. Here are a few ways to connect with librarians:

Subject Librarians

Nearly every academic department at UVA has a dedicated librarian, and it’s that librarian’s job to help you with your research! Here's the list of subject librarians.

Ask-A-Librarian

This is a chat service staffed by librarians when the libraries are open. It's not a chatbot. A live person will help you with your question. They welcome questions about library services, finding sources, and just about everything else!
