Abstract:
The article focuses on the instant messaging (IM) pilot service offered by the AskNow! virtual reference service. IM refers to a form of online real time communication which allows a user to view available contacts online and send messages to them directly. IM uses proprietary chat reference software which enables users to chat with a librarian. The pilot service will continue until the end of February 2007.
