List of libraries providing virtual reference services - LISWiki
I recently gave permission to John Hubbard, creator of the LISWiki and the Library Link of the Day, to copy my outdated index of chat reference services into this page on the LISWiki: List of libraries providing virtual reference services. Now that the list has been wikified, those of you who might want to update it can do it yourselves. I'll soon put links all over my web site to this new wiki list.
I've already done a little editing myself on the new wiki list. On the listing for the service at my library (the one for Baruch College in New York), I added some details about what software we've used. I think it would be great if there were little annotations like that next to each of the libraries. People could indicate not only the software they use but also offer links to any web pages on their library site that discuss implementation of the chat service, administration of it, and statistics for it (some libraries have such materials publicly available on their web sites).
Who knows how this list in the wiki may evolve. Perhaps libraries with chat services will create pages for themselevs in the wiki in which greater detail is offered on their chat service (and perhaps e-mail reference, SMS reference, and any other kind of digital reference you can think of). That's the beauty of this wiki: we can all help to shape it into the resource we want and need it to be.
