Hello from D.C.

From the news release, "Librarians in selected Library of Congress reading rooms
will be monitoring
chat from 2 to 3 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday. Access to this service will be
provided from the
Library's online reference service called, "Ask a librarian...," at

"The Library of Congress' service will initially involve reference staff from the
following reading
rooms: Serial and Government Publications, Prints and Photographs, Local History
and Genealogy,
Humanities and Social Sciences, Science and Technology, and Business. The number of
reading rooms
in the service may expand in the future, as well as hours of availability.
