MacMillan’s Virtual Reference Desk is open Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday, 9 a.m. to noon. The reference desk is staffed by members of MacMillan’s Research Services team, who all hold JD and MSLIS degrees. They have been through law school and know exactly what you are experiencing.
