FAQs: Live Homework Help
Q: What kinds of libraries offer Live Homework Help?
Any library with a mission of supporting youth and leveling the educational playing field, or that wants to augment an existing homework help or tutoring program.
Q: How is Live Homework Help different from an in-library homework help service?
A panel discussion at PLA in 2008 revealed that two different types of students are served. Students who come into the library for in-person assistance prefer a personal connection. Students seeking help with Live Homework Help prefer the convenience of on-demand help any time, plus the anonymity of live chat. Both services are necessary to reach all students who face challenges. If your library can only offer one service, Live Homework Help reaches more students with fewer library resources.
Q: How affordable is Live Homework Help?
Very affordable! However, if any amount is too high for your library we can offer discounts based on multi-year contracts or packages bundled with
Ask A Librarian Express™. Plus we have worked with many libraries to find outside funding. We don’t want cost to be a barrier to providing a service your students need.

Q: Does anyone else offer online homework help?
Yes. Many online homework help services have sprung up recently. Most of them are located in India, and most are based on personal accounts offered to families. A few are based on the No Child Left Behind school model. None of these services were designed to meet the needs of libraries. Those which have been “retro-fitted” for libraries still carry personal account-based, or school-focused aspects which prevent them from meeting the high standards of many libraries. Only Live Homework Help is approved by governors and offered statewide. The program has been recognized with awards for its business practices and service quality, and only Live Homework Help has hundreds of library customers serving students through more than 1,800 branch libraries.
Q: So only libraries offer Live Homework Help?
No, we also have corporate programs as well. Besides states offering Live Homework Help, several Fortune 500 companies offer Live Homework Help to their employees, including Intel, AT&T and General Motors. These companies believe that the corporate benefit of after-school support with Live Homework Help is significant enough to improve the quality of life for employee families, help them retain workers, and help workers recommend their company to other high-quality candidates.
Q: We are concerned about usage. How do we know students will use it?
