Meebo

Reference librarians are now available to answer questions during regular library hours via chat reference. Try it out! Instant message your question -- just type your question in the box to the right and wait for the librarian to respond!

The Gary Library chat reference service is for the use of UI&U learners, faculty, and staff and for those who have questions about our collections and services. If you wish to leave us a message when we are unavailable, please contact us by e-mail at library@tui.edu.


By E-mail

At a minimum, our reference staff will respond to your inquiries within 24-48 hours of receipt, but we are frequently able to provide a quicker turnaround. You can e-mail us at library@tui.edu. In your e-mail, be sure to include your name, program affiliation, and contact information. You may also contact us by filling out the Online Reference Request Form.



By Phone

Reference librarians and staff are available via telephone during normal business hours (9 am-6 pm) to answer your inquiries. Hours are typically extended during learner residencies at the Montpelier campus to 8 am-8 pm.
