Text Messaging now available.

You can now reach the Science Libraries using text messaging.

Text messaging is ideal for answering simple questions that require brief answers. If longer responses are necessary an email may be sent to an email address you provide. For in-depth questions, see Ask a Reference Question.

The phone number is posted on the following Text Messaging information page, which is only available to validated Yale students, staff, and faculty.

Hours- Text messages will be responded to as soon as possible. Staff are available to answer text messages from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm on weekdays. If a message is received off hours, a response will be sent by the following business day. If you do not receive a response as soon as you would like, try our IM service or call us at 432-3439. See other options at Ask a Reference Question. A Library-wide Instant Messaging reference service is available for longer hours.

NOTE: Text messaging reference is a service provided by Yale Science Libraries free of charge. Cell phone service providers may charge for sent or received text messages. By sending a text message to this Library service, you give permission to Yale Science Libraries to reply to your text message.

Please include your yale.edu email address in your text message.
