NC Knows Virtual Reference Service
In an effort to cooperate in the provision of virtual reference service to North Carolinians, Wake Tech libraries have been selected to participate in the North Carolina Virtual Reference service, which is provided by the State Library of North Carolina. We are one of 18 libraries across the state that will staff a virtual reference desk, answering questions with 24/7 virtual reference software. These questions cover all areas from K-12 and up to college and university levels. The service is available to any user with access to the internet.
Click the "NCknows" button to initiate an interactive chat with a reference librarian from any of the 18 libraries.
