[Drew, Bill]

Several people have suggested I send out the survey again.  Here it is.
Sorry for any cross postings.
Please feel free to forward it to the appropriate people.  Please reply back
to me and not the list.
I set the reply to in this message to my e-mail address but I know that does
not always work for everyone.
My e-mail is drewwe at morrisville.edu

Subject: "Talk to a Librarian" services -- survey


I am compiling data and ideas to improve our real time service for remote
users called "Talk to a Librarian".
It uses AOL Instant Messenger.

For details on this service go to:
http://www.morrisville.edu/library/talk.html

Below is a very short survey.  If your college or university library has a
similar service or is thinking of starting one, please take a few minutes to
answer the questions.  I will compile them and report back with the results.


1. What do you call your service?


2. What software does it use?


3. Does it require special software on the remote user's machine? (If so,
what?)


4. Who responds to queries (e.g.; reference desk or other service point)?


5. What hours is the service available?


6. How many queries do you get in a typical week?


7. Is this service accessible via your webpages (e.g.; click on a link and
it starts up?)


8. Please give me a URL to see this service:


9. URL of Library webpage:


10: Your name/e-mail address
