Reference Service Hours 

Our current temporary hours for the break are::

  • Monday - Thursday: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
  • Friday: 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Emails are answered as quickly as possible, within 1 business day.

Regular hours of service are also supplemented with appointments that can be made outside those hours if needed.

Please ask a librarian if you need to meet for a research consultation outside our normal hours of operation. Hours are subject to change, so please check the Spangler Building Calendar for daily hours, located on the ODU Library home page.

Guidelines for Using our Services

  • Our service is provided as first-come, first-serve, whether in person, by phone, by email, or by chat
  • It is best to use our chat service to ask questions about library resources or library policies that can be answered in brief chat responses or questions about how to get started with your research; for questions requiring lengthy, detailed responses, we recommend you consider using one of our other options if possible.
