Using Skype for Reference

From American Libraries Direct

Using Skype for reference

This episode of Chad Boeninger’s Monday Night Update (4:55) discusses and shows how the Ohio University Libraries’ Skype Reference Service works. The video shows the kiosk setup and discusses some of the issues with the service. The Skype kiosk rings a computer at the reference desk through the campus wireless network. Chad says: “It’s a free service and it’s kind of fun to mess with.”...Library Voice, Mar. 3
