IM'ing


It's great to be back with Project Play, though as usual, I'm at least a week behind. I did manage to get myself a meebo account and get the widget on my blog as the rest of the office here did it, but I never finished the assignment. So, here I am.

Being the unimaginative worker bee that I am, I have no idea how this could be used in a library setting, though David Lee King's idea of embedding it in the failed search page of a catalog is quite smart. That could be extrapolated to include failed database searches, and ask ref pages as well.

Now off to see if I can get Week 2 done!

Hi Leereer,

Welcome back! Great job getting your meebo widget on your blog.

We use IM even here in our office - which isn't very big. It's nice to IM someone about a quick question or to see if they're busy before you head to their office. I've also gotten IMs from librarians asking questions about continuing education.

Keep on playing!
