Welcome to the Library's Help service.

We're here to help with both research support and general library questions, ensuring you have access to the resources, tools, and services necessary for your work. Ask us questions such as:

• finding sources
• developing topics and research strategies
• evaluating and citing sources
• borrowing, equipment loans, booking spaces or other library services

Our aim is to empower you with the skills and resources to navigate the research process confidently. Our priority is assisting VIU students and employees, however we also support community members where possible.

For writing, reading, speaking, and citations support, see the Writing Centre or International Academic Support.

If you’re unsure where to direct your question, reach out to us anyway, and we’ll be happy to guide you in the right direction.
