Online Chat & Email Help

24/7 Chat

 

Our chat service is staffed by Cal Poly Humboldt librarians as well as librarians across the globe, so you may not be chatting with a local librarian. If you prefer working with a Cal Poly Humboldt librarian, take a look (below) at the many other ways we can meet with you.

For general information, visit our Borrow & Renew FAQ, see the library hours, or see what you have checked out and renew items by logging into your online account.

Privacy Statement: This chat service requires the use of cookies. Cal Poly Humboldt and the CSU system use these statistics, including your IP address and other browser information, to better understand how to improve our services. We do not share or sell your information with third parties.
