Text-a-Librarian
The UCR Libraries now offer assistance by text messages. This is a new pilot service available during Reference Service Hours. By using Text-a-Librarian, you can get quick answers to all library related questions, such as hours, call numbers, etc.
Text UCRLIB to 66746 and then your question.
