Library Chat Service Now Includes FAQs
UC Blue Ash Library and the Marcotte Library at UC Clermont are partnering to pilot a new proactive chat and knowledgebase service, LibAnswers, which provides real-time support to students in places they access regularly, such as Canvas, and respective UCBA and Marcotte Library websites and research guides. Students, as well as staff and faculty, can connect to the library from anywhere with an internet-accessible device.
What is chat? The library’s chat service allows guests to talk with a library staff member in real time via the web, tablet or mobile device.
Who is chat for? Library guests (UC students, staff, faculty and community members) are able to use chat to talk with a library staff person in real time to ask questions and get help.
When can they use chat? Chat will be available Monday through Friday from 8 am – 5 pm. When chat is unavailable, students can browse or search our robust and detailed set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to get the help they need any time of day. Students can also submit their own questions which help to grow the list of FAQs and expands support for all students.
Where can they use chat? Chat boxes are available in multiple places:
- Library website (UC Blue Ash and the Marcotte Library at UC Clermont)
- On most UC Blue Ash Library and the Marcotte Library at UC Clermont research guides (which can also be accessed via Canvas courses)

UCBA Library Services During Spring 2022 Remote Start Period
Given the university’s shift to online operations, we wanted to provide you with updates to the UCBA Library’s services and support beginning today through Friday, January 21st. We will revert to regular spring semester operations on Monday, January 24th.
The UCBA Library facility is closed as of Wednesday, January 5th through Friday, January 21st; however, we do have drop-in hours from 9a-5p Monday-Friday as well as virtual support (see below for options). Hallway signage instructs visitors on how to contact us when they arrive, so that we can meet them at our library staff door (ex. laptop or materials pick-up/returns).
Laptops are available for UCBA students with an initial check-out until March 11th. Students can return and renew the laptop by that due date for the rest of the semester.
Calculators and Course Reserve Materials are available for check-out through January 25th. During this time, we will not be issuing short term loans (e.g. 4 hours, 3 days). Calculators and course reserve materials will be given a due date of Tuesday, January 25th. These items will revert to their designated short term loan period after their return.
Important Reminder: A Bearcat ID or acceptable alternative ID (e.g. driver’s license) is required to check out items.
