Libraries Launch RefeXpress Virtual Reference
 

The George A. Smathers Libraries announce the launch of the online reference service, RefeXpress, with a
reception/demonstration for UF faculty.  Refreshments will be served at the reception, to be held in
room 107 of the Marston Science Library on Thursday, February 22, from 1 – 4 p.m.

RefeXpress is an electronic, real-time discussion space where users may ask librarians at the University
of Florida for help with research. RefeXpress is accessed from the Smathers Libraries’ home page
(http://web.uflib.ufl.edu) by clicking on the RefeXpress logo, or on the help links anywhere on the
Libraries’ Web pages. The RefeXpress service enables students and faculty who are researching online to
chat one-on-one with a librarian, and receive immediate help with a question without leaving their
computer. RefeXpress is available Monday-Thursday 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

When RefeXpress is not available, questions may be submitted via e-mail by selecting “Ask A Reference
Question” from the Libraries’ Web pages or by calling the Library West reference desk at 392-0361 or
the Marston Science Library reference desk at 392-2836.  For more information about RefeXpress, contact
Jana Ronan at 392-4919 or jronan@ufl.edu.
