    Question

    When is chat support available, and how can I contact Support if there is no agent available and I need technical assistance?

    Answer

    Please see below the products that are available for chat and the availability hours.

    If any Chat Options are missing, please open a support case with Ex Libris and request that the missing options be enabled in the Support Chat Configuration mapping.

    Note that only chats for products activated for your institution can be enabled (e.g. if you are not using Leganto, the Leganto Chat can't be enabled for your institution).

    Availability hours may change without notice due to national holidays and staff availability

    If you need to contact Support and there is no agent available, please submit a case in the Support Center (https://support.proquest.com/).

    You can also find self-service documentation, Knowledge Articles, Training videos, and other product information on the Ex Libris Knowledge Center.

    In the Knowledge Center, click the Submit a Case button, or click the More Sites menu and select Support Center if you need to open a case.

    In case of a system outage, follow the procedure here: What procedure should be followed to alert Ex Libris of a system down?
