[Web4lib] Invitation to Join My Info Quest collaborative text message reference project

[Lori Bell]

We invite you to join the My Info Quest collaborative text messaging project, which kicked off on July 20, 2009 and continues its growth into 2010.  Over 60 libraries from across the United States of all types participate using Altarama and gmail and we would like more to meet our goal of 24/7 coverage. Our first Canadian partner joined several months ago, and libraries from outside the U.S. are welcome to participate, as well.  The only requirements are that you staff the desk 2 hours per week, attend online meetings and training, and participate in evaluation activities.  There is no cost  at this time to join this exciting project, which is coordinated by Lori Bell, administered by Mary-Carol Lindbloom, Executive Director of  the South Central Regional Library Council in New York State, and evaluated by Dr. Lili Luo of the School of Library and Information Science, San Jose State University.   If you would like to join, please contact Project
 Coordinator Lori Bell at lbell927 at gmail.com. You will be sent some informational documents and an agreement form to fill out with library information and your preferred coverage hours. If you would like to join the project communications group, visit http://groups.google.com/group/InfoQuest. Visit the project’s website at www.myinfoquest.info.
