​Chat with a librarian @Answerland

Answerl​and staff will try to help you find resources that help with your project. The first time you use Answerland, it should be to find out what, who, or when. Librarians will direct you to resources, but will not be able to answer specific questions. 

Remember, you are chatting with a live librarian who may be busy chatting with other people too. Please be courteous and patient with the librarians.
