MY APOLOGY TO THOSE WHO KNOW ABOUT CHAT REF. LIBRARIES AROUND THE WORLD. Whenever I am stumped, I also use the Chat reference services around the world. Of course, LM_NET is the BEST I have used several different chat ref. library services online and I have found them very useful. http://liswiki.org/wiki/Chat_reference_libraries Chat reference libraries This list is for libraries with some form of synchronous or chat reference services. An exhaustive list of libraries offering other virtual reference services is nowadays akin to a list of libraries that offer telephone service; to search the thousands of library sites which employ e-mail links or simple web feedback forms, see Libweb Listed by country, state, and then alphabetically by institution Many are limited to their state or countrries only. I have used the following so far AskColorado http://www.askcolorado.org/info/index.html Australia - Enquire - (The United Kingodom) Online Virtual Ref. service) excellent for British, European and world lit. Oregonlibraries.net One thing I like is that they can send the websites via internet and they pop up on my pc. Also, chat transcript is emailed. Full text journal articles are also posted You can log in as annonymous, if you wish. If any of you have used virtual ref. lib. chat ref. please share your experience. my 2 cents' worth Ish.
