Abstract:

While e-mail reference is one of the popular methods of providing assistance to remote users of library online resources, it does not allow a real-time reference interview. More and more Web retail companies have started providing real-time customer help lines, yet libraries do not always have the same financial resources to implement such technologies. The use of ICQ for reference and as office hour consultation in an academic library will be reported. Issues such as staffing, technical implementation, and marketing of services to specific user groups are also be addressed.
