From the directors chair

One of my first opportunities in my new position as director is to re-activate the Student Advisory Board (SAB). I participated in this volunteer opportunity when I was enrolled in the MSCJ program and found the avenue to provide input to the Distance Learning Center staff to be personally rewarding. I realize that its difficult as an online student to build a connection with a college campus that you may never visit. Because of that potential lack of connectivity between student and campus, its also difficult at times from a staff perspective to solicit and receive feedback from our students. Over 60 students volunteered to serve on the SAB in response to an e-mail request for participation. By the time you receive this publication, we hope to have conducted our first introductory telephone conference and will have given the student representatives assignments to work on over the summer. We will be asking these representatives questions about how we do business on a day-to-day basis and how we can better serve you, our customers. I would like to extend an invitation to contact me personally at the DLC if you ever have an issue or concern. Alternatively I invite and encourage you to contact any of your student representatives if you have input you believe the staff needs to hear. Contact information for your SAB representatives will be printed in the fall edition of The Pioneer Connection.

NetID makes life easier for distance students
The changes we have made in the last year make it possible for you to access courses, your records in PASS, your campus e-mail, and campus resources, such as the Karrmann Library, all with the same NetID (username) and password. Additionally, passwords only need to be reset every 180 days, instead of 90. If you have any questions about your NetID, contact the Distance Learning Center Help Desk at 877.854.3083 or distedsupport@uwplatt.edu.

Taking a print-based course this fall?

Contact your advisor to learn about policy Loan deferment reminder
changes, tuition rates, and the new registration process.

If you are a print-based student and want to defer loan payments for the fall semester, keep in mind that the starting date of your registration can be no later than September 2nd. Registrations that start in October/ November/December cannot be used for fall deferments. In addition, most lenders require that you are enrolled at least half-time in a semester to be eligible for a deferment for that term. The UW-Platteville Registrars Office submits enrollment verifications to the National Student Clearinghouse for all loan deferments. Regulations permit the university to verify enrollment for UW-Platteville courses only. If you are taking courses with UW Colleges or any other school, verification for those courses must come directly from those institutions, even if you have a financial aid consortium agreement. If you have any questions, contact your advisor.

Order textbooks early

You must have your textbooks on the first day of class. Order them when you receive your PASS registration confirmation. Beware: an international edition may sound like a financial bargain, but can cost you more in the long run. Match the ISBN of textbooks you order to the books listed for your course in PASS.

Financial Aid Award Letters in PASS

Beginning with the 2012-2013 academic year, your Financial Aid Award Letter will be posted in PASS. You will receive an e-mail when your award is ready for viewing and accepting. 4

payments for courses. You can pay online and print receipts for tuition payments. You will find your grades in your Student Center in PASS. If you need your grades for tuition reimbursement, you wont have to wait for grades to be posted to the advising site. The new process is faster and ensures accuracy. Starting with the 2012-2013 financial aid year, you can view financial aid information and accept or decline offered aid in PASS rather than returning an Award Letter by mail. In the coming months, you will be able to monitor your degree progress using the Academic Requirement Report. This report will chart your progress toward your degree, indicating courses completed and requirements yet to fulfill. Watch for more information in the next issue of The Pioneer Connection.

Though change can be hard for some, this change has been long awaited. As an alumnus of the MSPM program, I am envious of all current students. In the past, we had at least three or four usernames and passwords to keep track of, with just as many websites and contact names. Many of us had a document listing all of our usernames/ passwords and what each was used for (e.g., registration and payment, D2L, the Advising Site, Karrmann Library access, etc.). One of the best improvements for students is that you now need only one NetID (username) and password for all UW-Platteville sites. You can access your courses in D2L, your records in PASS, databases in the Karrmann Library, and your campus e-mail all with the same login. Other new features of PASS: You no longer need to contact a third party to receive information on tuition or to make

While learning a new system can be daunting, PASS has streamlined and simplified processes for both students and staff. A big thanks to all alumni who have spoken up about ways we can improve our student services. Without Pioneers taking a moment to voice concerns, changes cant be made. If you are ever concerned about a process, contact your advisor you may affect the future for all students.

Pioneer Profile - Dion Shaw
When Dion Shaw completed his bachelors degree in computer science in 1997, he had several years of professional work experience, in addition to perspective from negotiating one giant hurdle. Regarding a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in his early 20s, Dion said, It put my priorities in order. It makes me want to help others, to give to others, to look around and see what matters. Years later, working as a management information systems manager for a large manufacturing company, and pursuing a masters degree in project management with UW-Platteville Online, Dion was laid off. He spent 2009 looking for work and volunteering with the Illinois WorkNet, helping unemployed workers with rsum-writing and interviewing skills. At the Project Management Conference in Platteville in 2010, Dion engaged faculty, shared his experience, and was encouraged to take a special topics course to pursue his idea of creating a resource for workers who want to start homebased businesses. Dion designed, developed, and maintains Homepreneurs, a blog that does just that. As a recent guest on Unity Online Radios Beyond Blind Spots, Dion discussed the importance of researching and planning a business, explaining that the business plan can be brief, something to remind you of where youre going...a dynamic document that evolves along with the business. Dion is halfway to completing his masters degree. He divides his time between school, parenting, working full-time for CompUCom, and maintaining the Homepreneurs blog. Two years, over 400 posts, 600 comments, and 40,000 visitors later, its a valuable resource to many, and illustrates what is possible when a person follows his passion, identifies a need, and gathers the expertise and community to implement the plan.

New instructor will blend psychotherapy and business into management courses
Tim Strait is pitching a curve ball to his students this fall. As a licensed psychotherapist, hell blend business and psychotherapy into Organizational Behavior (BUSADMIN 3530/5530). The course is part of UW-Plattevilles innovative Master of Science in Organizational Change Leadership program. While earning his masters degree in business at Edgewood College, Madison, Wisconsin, an instructor inspired Tim to look at organizations through the lens of a psychotherapist. She said, If you really want to make a high-level impact on people in an organization, you need to become an expert on how the human mind works and what might be causing a person to act and react to the things that happen during the workday. After all, organizations are made up of human beings. Organizational behavior and the study of change are steeped in Systems Theory, Tim said. The concept maintains that each element and each person within an organization is interrelated and interdependent. For example, when one family member changes his or her behaviors, all other family memberseveryone in the family systemare impacted. The same can be said for organizations. Tim will encourage students to think of their work as a system consisting of teams, various roles and groups, clients, and suppliers. I want students to have the skills and abilities to think more deeply than their colleagues because they have been challenged through the introduction of these psychological theories, Tim said. Hopefully, we can give them tools that others competing for the same job may not have. In July 2009, Salary.com reported median annual earnings for organizational development consultants of $81,309, and to be successful in the profession, a masters degree is nearly always a prerequisite. The MS in Organizational Change Leadership program prepares students for lead roles as change managers or consultants. Specifically, the curriculum explores the nature of change, the change process, assessing readiness for change, communication strategies, assessing stakeholders, and sustaining change. What really sets our program apart is that its part of an established institution versus a start-up, for-profit institution, Tim said. Tom Jensen

Innovation is key to a relevant education

William Achia sees the significance of supply chain management. Sometimes, it can be the difference between life and death. At Cardinal Health, a Fortune 20 healthcare provider, William was responsible for managing the supply chain activities for a $120 million account, Cleveland Clinic, where the importance of readied supplies was critical. Not having a suture availed to a surgeon on time might have been the difference between a successful surgery and a person losing his life, William said. With that in mind, the supply chain gained a very important role. We assured our customer that we would have whatever product the hospital needed within a day of them placing their order. Specifically, William measured various metrics such as service levels, fill rates, and also vendor management, ensuring that they had the same level of commitment to Cardinal Health that it promised its customers. Its that same commitment and an immediacy of learning that William brings to his course, Supply Chain Management (BUSADMIN 4100/6100). The course is part of both the bachelors degree in business administration and the Master of Science in Integrated Supply Chain Management (ISCM). The ISCM program draws on the strengths of three UW-Platteville departments: Business and Accounting, Industrial Studies, and Industrial Engineering. This provides students with a 360-degree approach to supply chain management and equips them with analytical, quantitative, and business skills to make them better managers of supply chain activitiesabove and beyond what is currently offered by regular MBA programs. As an educator, I cannot afford becoming irrelevant to the needs of the marketplace. Being a supply chain management professional, I know that changes in standard business practices occur almost daily, William said. Being at the forefront of the flow of innovations and advancements is key to delivering an education that is relevant to the needs of students graduating from college and entering an everchanging job marketplace. Prior to joining UW-Platteville, William was a supply chain analyst for ThyssenKrupp Stainless, a global leader in the stainless steel industry, where he was a part of the companys evolution from a little-known foreign steel company based in Deerfield, Illinois, to one of the largest steel mills in the nation. During the transition, William oversaw the import and distribution activities of ThyssenKrupp, including facility (distribution center) location, driving down costs through pricing negotiations, supply chain activities (trucking and warehousing), and troubleshooting vendor issues. Throughout this whole process, effective supply chain management helped the firm build market share and name brand recognition, he said. Some of Williams enduring excitement for everything analytical is his lifelong love of trivia. He won several trivia competitions in elementary school and believes the fact-finding fun helps him better understand himself and the world around him, making him a global citizen. Tom Jensen

Criminal justice Career Fair offers resources and opportunities to Cj students

This spring, the UW-Platteville Department of Criminal Justice and the Criminal Justice Association hosted the 39th Annual Criminal Justice Career Fair. The two-day event included several speakers on various topics related to three disciplines of criminal justice: law enforcement, corrections, and forensics. Students could learn more about DNA and drug chemistry, pretrial services, the Sex Offender Registry Program, and defensive and tactical techniques. UW-Platteville criminal justice 2012 CJ Career Fair instructors also presented fingerprinting labs and a workshop on interview preparation. The CJ Career Fair is a great experience for students at any level of their academic career. Agencies provide recruitment and employment information for graduating seniors and internship information for students looking to gain experience that can broaden their education. Students just getting started in the field can benefit too, as the fair highlights the many different career paths within the CJ field: law enforcement, corrections, private security, forensics, law, DNR, and the list goes on, Dana Cecil, program coordinator of the BSCJ program, said. Keynote speaker Major Sarah Huxtable of the Wisconsin State Patrol also emphasized the variety within the criminal justice profession. As a state trooper, there are many different job possibilities and assignments: motor officers, motor carrier enforcement, K9, narcotics, explosives, etc. She also discussed subjectspecific career paths. For example, students interested in math could work in the technical reconstruction unit re-creating crime scenes. Likewise, science students could pursue a career in forensics. The starting point, however, is the same. The best way to get into law enforcement is to have an education, Sarah said. Most agencies have minimum undergraduate credit requirements and the profession demands good writing skills. Many students who dont pass the entrance level exam fail because of spelling and grammatical errors. Law enforcement

involves a lot of report writing and the defense will attack your credibility based on poor report writing. In addition to the speakers, over 100 representatives from local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies discussed internship and employment opportunities. The Oshkosh (Wisconsin) Police Department hoped to fill five positions and offered a written entrance examination that day to interested students. Captain of Police Cyndi Thaldorf said, Things that I look for in candidates are good communication skills somebody who can express confidence and who doesnt hesitate to ask questions in general, good or bad. We have hired a number of UW-Platteville grads in the past and they have done well. We know you have quality students here. The Oshkosh Police Department was only one of many agencies with open positions. There is a number of hiring placards on the tables, so it looks very promising for CJ majors in short-term and long-term marketability of their degrees, Dedra Tentis, UW-Platteville criminal justice instructor said. Ive had a couple of agencies indicate to me that they are anticipating a number of retirements, which means even more job possibilities for students. For students looking to build their resumes, Dedra said, I talked to a number of agencies at local, state, and federal levels that have open internship opportunities, both paid and unpaid. So, I would encourage students to reach out and seek internship opportunities and possibilities. I ran into a number of alumni who are currently working in the field, so there are a lot of networking possibilities. Sarah offered additional advice for jobseekers. When applying for positions,

Agencies provide employment and internship information for CJ students.

students should be prepared to take an entrance, a psychological, and a physical agility exam. In interviews, agencies really want to know: Can you multitask, prioritize, and handle high-stress situations? A good example [to demonstrate those skills] would be a short-order cook at Burger King. You need to recognize what theyre looking for and draw from your personal experiences, even if you think they may not be law enforcement related. The CJ Career Fair is held every spring, and online students are encouraged to attend. Cheryl Banachowski-Fuller, director of the MSCJ program, said, The Criminal Justice Career Day avails criminal justice online students the opportunity to visit the campus for the first time, while seeing what the job market has to offer in reference to employment in the criminal justice field. Dana added, With employment information at our fingertips through the magic of the Internet, the CJ Career Fair provides a valuable opportunity through which students can network and personally connect with many different agencies. The main goal of the fair is to give criminal justice students exposure to prospective employers in the field and demonstrate to students that no matter their level or interest, there are many opportunities available to them. The career you are about to embark on is so full of rewarding experiences. Its very enriching, Sarah said. Cheryl Lange

Internship steered MSCj graduate toward career path

Pioneer Profile - Nancy Schneider
Nancy Schneider never considered fraud investigation as a career until, while earning her masters degree in criminal justice, she decided to complete an internship with the Department of Justice where she worked with the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. The internship is what turned my entire life onto the course that it is now on. After completing her internship, Nancy was hired by American Family Insurance as a paralegal responsible for litigation investigations and cross trained in insurance fraud investigations. Eventually, Nancy earned her Fraud Claims Law Specialist and Fraud Claims Law Associate designations in the insurance industry. She graduated from UW-Platteville with honors in 2009. Nancy was not only an excellent student, but her ability to be successful in completing the coursework while maintaining her high-demand work responsibilities was superior, said Cheryl Banachowski-Fuller, director of the MSCJ degree program. In December 2012, Nancy was hired by the Wisconsin State Department of Children and Families to do regulatory compliance investigations in the Program Integrity Unit. While working with an investigator from the Child Care Anti-Fraud Task Force, Nancy decided to get into criminal investigation herself. I love it. Its the niche that I fit into. Now a member of that same task force, Nancy conducts criminal investigations related to fraud in the Wisconsin SHARES program, which subsidizes child care costs for low-income families. Nancy will also train fellow investigators on Internet research and profiling. In addition, Nancy is an adjunct criminal justice instructor at Bryant and Stratton College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Ann is also a full-time police officer for the Dubuque (Iowa) Police Department and has always considered teaching as a possible career. I love being out on patrol, so I cant see leaving it. But, with time, Id be open to a career that is more family orientated. 16

Ann started the masters program in 2011 and will complete her degree in the fall. Students enjoy the real-life stories. It brings the textbook material into perspective.

Students secret to success: Work ahead

Pioneer Profile - Nate Katzenmeyer
For many UW-Platteville Online students, earning a degree is a juggling act. Nontraditional student Nate Katzenmeyer is an exceptional juggler. Natewho is earning his bachelors degree in criminal justice balances a full-time course load, a full-time career as a Dane County Sheriffs deputy, and a personal life. How does he do it? Nate credits his success to time management, good instructors, and his habit of working ahead on assignments. You dont know what is going to happen in school, in your personal life, and in your professional life. So, I try to work ahead so that there are no surprises. But Nate isnt looking to just cross off a list of assignments. The reason I work so far ahead is that Ive enjoyed being in the classes so much, and I look forward to the next assignments and doing the research and bettering myself. If you put it off, things are going to get bad and youll be behind. If you get behind, you get overwhelmed, and then you dont get as much out of the classes and your education. Instructor Gary Apperson noticed Nates determination in his Criminal Investigations (CRIMLJUS 3130) and Police-Community Relations (CRIMLJUS 4130) courses. Nate demonstrated drive, effort, and leadership in my classes that helped the other students to go for the high bar. Additionally, Nate was always first to turn in assignments and his work was always very high quality. Nate hopes to complete his bachelors degree in the next year and continue in the masters program. Eventually, he would like to be a K9 officer. Cheryl Lange

Current topics research and writing course

Criminal justice instructor Gary Apperson will teach Current Topics: Research Writing (CRIMLJUS 4630) this fall. The elective focuses on research and scholarly writing. The entire course is built around writing one research paper. In fact, the final exam is the completed research paper. Each weeks lesson is an easily digestible part of the paper, Gary said. By breaking down the component portions of the paper into small assignments, it allows me to provide very concise feedback, and the students learn and understand each section. Gary aims to improve students general writing skills, which will benefit them in other undergraduate courses, future masters courses, and eventually, their professional lives. After taking this course, college suddenly becomes much easier, students will produce more scholarly work that stands out and shines, and professional endeavors become more powerful, noticed, and manageable, said Gary.

Student remains steadfast, plans to graduate in December

Pioneer Profile - Dave Wilhelmi
It happens often: progress toward a bachelors degree is interrupted for years. Dave Wilhelmi, like other returning students, understands the value of completing the degree. Realistically, to get a job in todays world, you have to have a degree. Most employment applications are now online, so if you cant check the box that indicates you have a degree, your application will be ignored, Dave said. After three years of campus-based classes, Dave left UW-Platteville in 1981 to pursue careers in radio and retail. He eventually went to work for WyoTech, an educational institution that offers career training in construction trades and transportation technology. Working for an education company, its important that I get a degree. I would need it to move into a directors position. As manager of student finance, Dave worked with students as they completed the FAFSA and related financial aid materials. However, recent restructuring has put Dave into the job-seeking category. Fortunately, back in 2007, Dave took advantage of WyoTechs tuition reimbursement program and began coursework at UW-Platteville Online to complete his bachelors degree. He plans to graduate in December. Dave values the connections hes made with fellow classmates and attends UW-Platteville alumni events in his home state of Arizona. He remains connected to Wisconsin by traveling to visit family. In his free time, he enjoys golf and baseball. His favorite team is the Milwaukee Brewers. Hes also one of the owners of the Green Bay Packers and attends Packer games played in Phoenix. Denise LaBudda

BS BUSINESS ADMINISTrATION

Well done, graduates!

On Friday, May 11, we honored over 100 distance education graduates and welcomed them to the Pioneer alumni family. Nearly 100 of us celebrated at the recognition banquet in the Markee Pioneer Student Center. UW-Platteville Provost Mittie Nimmocks Den Herder and Executive Director of Alternative Delivery Systems Dawn Drake welcomed our guests. Program coordinators introduced their graduates and presented them with a gift. Our non-degree recipients were recognized for continuing their education. We also recognized Kari Nuszkiewicz, recipient of the Dawn Drake Excellence in Distance Education scholarship (see p. 17), outstanding business administration student Shannon Becker (see p. 21), and Phi Kappa Phi inductees. Students, faculty, and staff enjoyed each others company and meeting each other, many for the first time. Stories were shared, laughter was heard, and connections and friendships were made. Many of us in the Distance Learning Center speak to students on a regular basis, but we rarely have the opportunity to put a name to a face. The graduation banquet is one of the ways that we are able to do that, and it is always exciting to meet graduates and their families. On Saturday, May 12, University of Wisconsin-Platteville celebrated its 188th commencement ceremony. Graduates were honored in three different commencement ceremonies throughout the day in a packed Williams Fieldhouse. We would like to take this time to congratulate all of the distance education graduates on their accomplishments. A special thanks to those who attended the graduation activities. It was a pleasure meeting you and celebrating this milestone in your life. Best wishes in your future endeavors, and please keep us posted on where life takes you. Melissa Dupont

Graduates youre invited! See Melissa Gavins invitation to participate in the UW-Platteville Distance Education Alumni Chapter on p. 21, then go online at www. uwplatt.edu/disted/alumni.html to learn more.

Stay connected to UW-Platteville

Congratulations to all distance education graduates, both new and old. As students, you are virtually connected to UW-Platteville and form bonds with fellow classmates, instructors, and even advisors. Upon graduation, you might feel as if you have been cut off from UW-Platteville. There are several ways you can regain and maintain that connection: Notify the Distance Learning Center when your mailing address or e-mail address changes. Read The Pioneer Connection. Volunteer. Distance Education has a chapter within the Alumni Association. This chapter, the DE Alumni Advisory Board, allows alumni to stay connected and offer input into various activities. The board meets monthly via conference call. Join the UW-Platteville Alumni Association. There are many benefits, including the opportunity to meet UW-Platteville alumni at regional events. A complete calendar of events can be found at http://alumni.uwplatt.edu/ news/default.asp?. Upcoming events include several golf outings and An Evening in Monte Carlo. Regional events will be e-mailed to you based on your location. This is a great way to meet fellow distance alumni and also to hear stories from campus. Consider donating to the Dawn Drake Scholarship Fund. The fund provides an annual scholarship to a distance education student and is one of the few available to aid with tuition costs. As a graduate of UW-Platteville Online, you should never feel disconnected. I have made lasting relationships with fellow students, instructors, and advisors by being an active alum. The possibilities are endless. Melissa Gavin

She always worked ahead on assignments and encouraged her group to submit before the deadlines. Shannon put in extra effort on assignments to ensure that she was doing the best she could to meet and even exceed my expectations. It was a pleasure to have her as a student, said Christine Storlie, instructor and program coordinator. Shannon said, My philosophy has been that everything I learn is a stepping stone for my education and career. I chose the field of human resources because I wanted to be the person my staff would come to for help. Being a talker/listener/ helper by nature, I believe this field will be the right career for my life. Congratulations, Shannon! Denise LaBudda

Pioneer Profile - Todd and Jessica Tadych

A perfect match
Two years into their marriage, Todd and Jessica Tadych decided to enroll in the engineering program and complete their masters degrees simultaneously. Both had excelled as undergraduates in engineering at UW-Platteville where they met through the engineering fraternity Theta Tau. Both had demanding jobs in their fields: Jessica as a software developer for Epic and Todd as a transmission planning engineer for American Transmission Company. And both aspire to management positions in the long-term. After researching MBA programs, I chose this because it combines the technical aspects of engineering with management, Todd said. Jessica, who also pursued the management emphasis, agrees she liked that aspect and added, I wanted to do it for myself, more than anything. I just wanted to continue my education. The couple took every class together and took one class at a time, except for their final semester when they took Optimization with Engineering Applications and International Marketing. We regretted taking two courses at times, said Jessica. I dont think I would have gotten through it without Todd. Some nights, I would come home and say I know I said I was going to work on it tonight, but I just cant. Todd would begin working and at some point, Id join him. We pulled each other along. The last semester was rough, Todd agreed. We created a spreadsheet for both classes with all of our assignments and wed discuss how much we each planned to do each night. Having Jessica and Todd in his optimization class provided a new challenge for instructor Ryan

Advice from the

jessica: On campus, those conversations happen

organically. It can be harder online, but you need to come forward sooner because there are fewer touch points online the professors and other students are often great resources. Do it quickly!

Melbard as well, as he spent more time to give each of them unique feedback. Todd and Jessica are two of my best students this semester, he said. It is interesting to see how the work provided by these two differs and it is also interesting to watch them post on each others discussion postings. They have been very professional throughout the course. Many factors contributed to the couples success. Different strengths: she likes math, he likes writing. A bit of competitiveness: Jessica wasnt too happy when Todd got 100 on an exam and she got a 99. And We learned a lot from our classmates, said Todd. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and sometimes only one person in a workgroup is familiar with a concept. Since we were usually in different groups, we were able to leverage knowledge from both groups. Jessica and Todd enjoy traveling and after spending their last three summers in class, they are looking forward to going camping this summer. Christine Hawkinson

Todd: Its easy to assume that youre the only one not
getting something when you cant see the others blank faces. If you Raise Your Hand in D2L, others will join in. **************************************

Todd: Bring your spouse along! And have a big

enough table or two couches so you each have your own space.

jessica: Yes, in some respects, our situation was probably easier we had a unique level of understanding.

jessica:

It will go faster than you think.

UW-Platteville pens credit transfer agreement with University of California

Qualifying students can now transfer credits from four University of California schools to the engineering masters degree program. For example, a student who completes a graduate certificate in embedded systems engineering at one of the UC extensions can transfer up to 12 credits, about four full-time courses, to UW-Plattevilles Master of Science in Engineering degree. The seven engineering agreements are with the following UC extensions: Irvine, Santa Cruz, San Diego, and Los Angeles. Visit http://bit.ly/uwppartners for specifics of the agreements. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to gain even deeper insight into the engineering field through the eyes of others, said Jill Clough, program coordinator. We want to build a bridge between every possible educational institution so that students, wherever they may be, can earn their masters degree and reach their professional potential.

How to contact Karrmann Library

Thank you for taking the time to share comments and suggestions. As a result of your input, here are some reminders of how to contact Karrmann Library for assistance: Call 888.450.4632 toll free to speak to a research librarian. Librarians are available between the hours of 9:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9:30 a.m.-Noon on Friday, and 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. on Sunday. Send an e-mail Web form called Ask a Librarian. This service is recommended for directional questions or research inquires not requiring immediate attention. During regular hours, you should receive a response within two hours. If you post questions or comments during the evening or weekend, you will receive a reply the following working day.

CHAT is offered during regular business hours and can be accessed on the Ask a Librarian page. The procedure for CHAT is similar to e-mail. The more detail you can give when describing your needs, the quicker we can assist you. Many of our librarians use Jing which allows us to create a brief video clip when answering your question. Jing allows us to actually demonstrate a possible solution to your research need with sound and graphics.
