Note: Due to librarian shortages, the Research Help Desk may have to reduce hours occasionally. Please check the Library home page for notices about unscheduled closures. Help is available from AskAway during these periods.
Askaway
Available 7 days a week - check the hours here.
When the Research Help Desk is closed, you can chat with an AskAway librarian. They can answer all the same kinds of questions a CapU librarian can.
If the Research Help Desk and AskAway are closed, you can email library@capilanou.ca and the next available librarian will respond to you.
Library Services
For borrowing and access questions, you can email us at library@capilanou.ca.
