IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?

You should take a close look at RefChatter if:
  • If you offer online reference using a single Instant Messaging network (e.g. MSN© , AIM©, etc.) and wish you could support more networks
  • If you offer online reference using several separate IM clients, and wish that doing so weren't so hard on your staff
  • If you offer online reference using a tool like Meebo©, and find that being limited to a single librarian/operator is problematic, especially during high-volume periods
  • If you offer online reference using IM in any form and wish you could capture and report good statistics
  • If your online reference service creates great transcripts, but they either aren't kept or you can't get at them
  • If your institution's IT policy prohibits use of IM client software on your workstations
  • If you presently have an online reference system such as QuestionPoint™ or VRLplus™, and would like to add an online reference service via IM in some manageable, integrated way
  • If you are thinking about starting an online reference service, but the first step has to have a low cost-of-entry.
