Our 24/7 live chat service stands ready to support you at any hour, staffed by credentialed professionals familiar with academic research. Access the chat widget from our website, research guides, or library catalog for immediate assistance.
If you prefer to communicate asynchronously, ask us a question via email and a Montclair librarian will respond within 24 business hours.
Research Appointments
For questions that may require a deeper level of support and personalized attention beyond the scope of online chat, we continue to offer in-person and virtual research appointments with Montclair librarians. If you have intricate research requirements or prefer direct, face-to-face engagement, you can always arrange a personalized one-on-one session with a librarian.
Study Spaces
As you are finishing up your final papers and studying for your final exams, we know that you may be looking to spend some time in peace and quiet. The library has many quiet and silent study spaces available to you, including private study rooms and study pods that can be reserved on our website.
Release Your Stress
During this time of year, you may be looking for opportunities to take a break. There are several stress-relief activities you can take advantage of at the library to ease your way into the end of the term, such as:
- Exploring the library for destress activity stations [starting on December 4th]:
- Brain Teaser puzzles
- Madlibs
- Coloring Pages
- Reading an old favorite from the Juvenile Books section
- Borrowing a movie from our DVD collection or viewing one from our streaming media collection
- Enjoying a classic tune on vinyl in a listening room
