Need Library Assistance?


Instant Message (IM) your Librarian! Asking a librarian just got easier. Now you can IM me, Elaine Settergren, from your favorite IM software or directly from the library website.

You can add me as a buddy in:

Pronto: esettergren
ICQ: 447247984
AIM: gumsblibrary
Yahoo: msb.library
Google Talk: msb.library
MSN: msb.library

Or you can IM me directly from http://students.msbcollege.edu/library/onlinestudents/.

Note: To add me as a buddy in Pronto: download Pronto from the “Tools” section in your Blackboard course. Check out Jodie's Tech Tip to the right for more instructions. Once you have downloaded it, go to the “contacts” menu, select “add contact” and enter my Pronto ID: esettergren.

You can also get a hold of me in the traditional ways including email and phone which can be found on the link above.

Now, how can I help you?
