PSU Libraries- Ask
Need help?
Penn State librarians are ready at a moment’s notice to provide assistance with research and class assignments by recommending appropriate resources. This website provides students with the resources to reach out by email, cell phone, text, by scheduling a research appointment, or even asking a PSU student via The Search Bar. This is beneficial for students who just don’t know who to ask for help or where to ask for help in researching, requesting materials, or reserving a study space.
