IM a AskEHBL Librarian

Pronounced "Askable" Librarian, I thought it would be catchy and unique. We get about 10 IMs per month(as of November 2006) since we started in August 2006. We support AIM, MSN, Yahoo! Most of the monitoring is done through Meebo.

Several Librarians are creating individual Web pages as the College struggles with issues concerning Web site access. I have installed Meebo on the sidebar of the Business Reference site. Several other librarians are planning to do something similar in the near future.
