Got a quick question? Get a quick answer! Use Text a Librarian

Do you want to know what the Library hours are or if we own a specific book? Text a Libraian! The Michael Schwartz Library has started a Text a Librarian service for anyone with a quick question. Text your question to library.text@csuohio.edu. This service can be used with any phone with text capabilities. The reference librarian can respond via e-mail using SMS (Short Message Service). The responses are limited to 160 characters, so involved questions will still be best served in person or via telephone.
*Standard text messaging fees will apply
