Through the library's Librarian Live service, you can get help with research while you’re online.
After connecting to Librarian Live, type in your research questions and a librarian will chat with you. If the answer can be found on a specific web page or web site, the librarian can send you the site, or they can guide you through one of the many databases that PLU has access to over the web. Web pages and other electronic resources will open in a separate browser on your computer's desktop.
You don't need any special software, just access to the web from any web browser.

The Robert A.L. Mortvedt Library is the central multimedia learning resource center serving the entire university community. Its collections are housed and services provided in a modern functional building which has study spaces for 850 students and shelving for 500,000 books, periodicals, microfilm, and audio-visual materials. The library receives over 2,000 current magazines, journals, and newspapers. Our mission is described in the vision statement.
In addition to its general collection of books and other materials, the library has a special collection devoted to the Scandinavian Immigrant Experience and contains the university and regional Lutheran church archives. Other resources include the Curriculum Collection of the School of Education, the microfiche collection of college catalogs, maps, pamphlets, national and trade bibliographies, CD-ROM indexes, and internet access to periodical indexes and full-text journals.
The library is open

a typical week in a regular term. Our staff offer expert
reference, circulation, information,
and media services. The
reference staff provides beginning and advanced library instruction
for all students. Students and faculty have rapid access to materials

The PLU Writing Center is a resource for all PLU writers and teachers of writing.
Because we believe that all writers, whether novice or professional, benefit
from feedback, our mission is to provide a site that fosters a writing community.
Both the online and physical Writing Centers are places for active learning,
so papers are never simply dropped off or sent for review. Instead, our services
are designed to provide feedback to writers at every stage in the writing
process. A student may bring an assignment, an idea, or a draft to the center
and consult one-on-one with trained peer writing consultants. Likewise, commuter
students may communicate with our on-line writing consultant for feedback
on commonly asked questions concerning drafting, documenting, and revising
texts. Our emphasis is on helping students become better writers, rather than
on "fixing" individual pieces of writing, so we work to make sessions as conversational
as possible. Consultants also assist in the editing process by sharing with
writers proofreading strategies, ways to identify patterns of error, and ways
to utilize handbooks and other writers' resources. We offer feedback on papers
composed for any academic discipline, as well as help with resumes, job application
letters, and graduate school applications. Both the consultants and director
are available to faculty for feedback on designing writing assignments and
on facilitating successful peer review.
