The Law Library is excited to announce that we will be launching a new virtual reference drop-in service starting June 1, 2021.
The virtual reference drop-in service will enable individuals to seek reference assistance more readily and speak to a Reference Librarian directly. It will be on a first come, first served basis similar to the in-person reference desk in the library.
Once you join the reference drop-in service, you will be brought to a virtual waiting room. The Reference Librarian on duty will then admit you into the session. Please note that individuals may sometimes need to wait if the Reference Librarian is already meeting with someone. We are available to help with navigating library resources, citations, and more. We can also share our screen with you to demo searches, review library resources, etc.
The service will initially be offered weekdays between 2:00 and 3:00 PM from June 1 to August 31, 2021. We anticipate expanding our drop-in hours once the new academic year begins.

If you are unable to join the drop-in service between 2:00 and 3:00 PM, you can schedule a Zoom consultation with a Reference Librarian weekdays between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM by visiting the library homepage and clicking on Book a Research Appointment or you can email us at lawref@osgoode.yorku.ca for research assistance.
