Many other topics!
Additionally, we can show you how to use library resources.
Library users may ask questions any time the Music Library is open. There will be a librarian at the reference desk Mondays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. If there isn't a librarian at the reference desk, simply go to the service desk and ask for help from a full-time staff member. If you have a question after 4:30 p.m. or on weekends, student assistants will refer your question to the music librarian. If you would like to ask a question by telephone, the Music Library's main number is (815) 753-1426. You can also always use NIU's Ask-A-Librarian email and chat service, available from the NIU Libraries' home page.
