AskAway is a 24x7 virtual reference service provided though the cooperative work of libraries in Illinois Heartland Library System, as well as over 400 other libraries in Illinois and Wisconsin.

E-mail Reference (Ask A Question)
E-mail a question to a librarian. Ask anything. Librarians love a challenge!

Chat (Live Reference)
Want to talk to a real live librarian? Use the live chat reference service. If a participating librarian is online, you'll be helped right away. If no one is online (librarians have to sleep, too!), you can leave your question and a librarian will help as soon as he or she is back online.
