My email address is on the library web page and I make a point of
showing it to the students. I also remind them during each study unit
that they can email me for research assistance in the evening. I do
tell them that a) I don't answer email after 10pm and b) sometimes I
actually have a life and am not home in the evening! I don't promise
them I'll answer every time but I tell them I am usually home and
available to help. I get several emails each night including over the
weekend. I don't mind helping the students this way - it's a service
that I offer and when it interferes with my home life I just don't do
it.
I also have a link to online chat, which I use on occasion in the
evening. The students think it's fun!
