Connect With Us

chat live online with askON’s expert staff. We will help you find the right information.

askON is a real-time chat & SMS research and information service developed by Ontario libraries and Ask Ontario. Participating college libraries contribute staff to askON’s collaborative schedule.

askON responds to questions on a wide range of subjects. We accept requests from visitors outside participating libraries but we may, depending on the availability of resources, refer you to your local library.
