After Hours Virtual Reference

The Library is closed but you're still working! Virtual Reference services are provided to assist students during hours in which NCTC Librarians are not available. Service hours may vary by semester. Flash media player (a free download) is required.

You may have to wait a few seconds for a librarian to appear online. The speech bubble will turn from red to green.

Spring 2010 Virtual Reference Hours

The Virtual Reference Service is provided by the Virtual Reference Internship program through the Western Texas College Library
