Library staff and administrations will need to remain flexible in order to meet the changing needs of library patrons. We need to be able to get the information to the patron in the format the patron is comfortable with...not necessarily the same ones we are comfortable with. Instant messaging could become a powerful tool in inter-branch and inter-office communications. The concept of a more "feeling" way to express things as well as not having the e-mail paper trail is appealing in that it may allow staff who are hesitant about voicing their concerns a "safe" approach.
We have access to meebo and practiced instant messaging one another.
The OPAL archive had some interesting data. I visited the Teen tech week Gaming and a couple of the book discussions.
I'm off now to set up a FaceBook account. Looking for friends!
