Describes a project undertaken by reference librarians at Bowling Green State University's Jerome Library to incorporate some form of an easy-to-use, online, real-time communication method into library reference services using online chat technology. Includes an in-depth discussion of how the decision was made, what type of services are offered, how the system was developed and improved, and what is needed to make it work better as the project continues.
