What is a part time virtual reference librarian?

A Part Time Virtual Reference Librarian is a trained information professional who assists library users remotely, typically through online chat, email, or video calls. Their responsibilities include answering research questions, helping with database searches, recommending resources, and providing guidance on using digital library materials. Working part-time, they offer flexible support to patrons who may not be able to visit the library in person, making library services more accessible. These librarians are skilled in digital communication and are knowledgeable about a wide range of information sources.
