The Stanford Libraries' Information Center is now providing reference help via Instant Messaging (IM). Just go to the IC Web site, select IM Us, and send us your questions. You can also add "sulreference" to your "buddy list". See also Check Out the New Information Center Web Site in the Spring 2007 issue of this newsletter.
IM allows us to conduct a real-time, online reference interview, and provide immediate answers, suggestions, and resources.
As one happy freshman exclaimed: "Chat reference? Holy %$#@! That's cool!"
