[Web4lib] Software to manage Email/Web form based reference questions

[Sadie Honey]

Hello,

 

The UCSF Library is looking for software applications that can be used to
manage email/Web form based reference questions.  We are looking for
something that will enable us to collect, assign, and answer questions from
a central location.  Other features would include the ability to track
progress of a question, draw on similar questions that have been answered
before, and report on question activity.

 

Do any of you have experience using Customer Relationship Management (CRM),
Email tracking & Routing, or Web Contact Center type software to manage
electronic questions from patrons?  If so, what are you using and how does
it work?  Any other advice on your experience using this type of software
for inquiry tracking would also be greatly appreciated.

 

I will summarize answers to this question for the list. Thank you.
