Ask a Librarian

In Person
A reference librarian is available to answer your question or to help you find information during the library's open hours. If you have a question or need assistance, please come to the reference desk for help.

By Phone
If you can't come to the library, you can call us at 650-738-4312 and we'll answer your question over the phone. Phone reference service is available anytime the library is open.

eReference: Answers By Email
Use this form to ask our reference librarians your question. Skyline College Library provides this service exclusively for Skyline College students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Response time is usually short on Monday through Friday during library hours (but please allow up to 24 hours on some occasions.) On weekends and holidays, please allow until the next business day. We provide answers to brief, specific factual questions; the use of our online catalog, article databases and reference sources; and the completion of bibliographic citations. *This email reference service is not available when classes are not in session (i.e. intersession breaks and holidays)
