Thanks for a great post. I was encouraged to hear about your sister's very postive of IM during her academic career. I am intrigued to know how it's used in academic libraries...for logistical questions (i.e. when do you close), reference questions or circulation questions. I don't think I would ever request "reference" (other than quick ref) over IM. If it's the former two, isn't it just as easy to find the information on the library's website? That said, I'm happy to hear of positive experiences and look forward to reading of more! Hi Vicki!

We had one at my co-op organization and used it pretty frequently. Mostly to plan lunch! But, seriously, it was more effective and less annoying than receiving a string of 10 emails on the subject so that makes it useful in my mind. And thanks for the account of your sister using library IM reference, I'm writing a final paper on IM and appreciate hearing about a library IM junkie. I think that if I had known about my library's online reference services while doing my undergrad, I would have used them exclusively as well. I love doing all my work from home on my laptop, logging in remotely to the UWO library catalogue. Oh, and I also loved the idea of a virtual Travelogue of your city. They charge for those in some places - mostly really interesting places, like Rome, though. Not that Whitby isn't interesting :) Hi Vicki – I find it interesting to hear that your organization has a corporate IM system but doesn’t use it.
