Library Resources for Remote Delivery

Embedding library resources into your online course & Moodle site

The Chat Widget - Real Time Real Help

Chat is just one click away for your students. From the Moodle menu at the top under Help, the last selection allows students to Chat with a librarian. 

You can alternately provide the link to our Chat page at http://www.kpu.ca/library/services/askalibrarian where students are also able to email a librarian.

AskAway Service Hours

You can get real help in real time during these hours:

  • Monday to Thursday: 9:00am - 9:00pm
  • Friday: 9:00am - 5:00pm
  • Saturday: 11:00am - 5:00pm
  • Sunday: 10:00am - 9:00pm

Kwantlen librarians take care of alerting students when the service is closed. You simply display the window in your site!
