Let Us Share Our Screen With You!

The Einstein Reference Librarians are now using a new screen-sharing tool called Glance. Any time you are at your computer and have a question about how to use one of the Library's online resources, we can show you what to do, and you won't even need to leave your chair.

All you have to do is give us a call (718-430-3104). We'll tell you how to connect so that we can show you our computer screen. Whether you need help with searching a database, using reference management software or looking for a book, we'll show you how. Whatever we see on our screen, you will see on yours.
