Next meeting of the Virtual Reference SIG to discuss VoIP reference

The subject of the next meeting of the Virtual Reference SIG will be the use of VoIP (voice-over internet protocol) software for reference services. Colin Bain from the Queensland University of Technology will speak about how his library has been using the Windows Messenger software to talk online with their patrons and answer their questions. As is usually the case with meetings of the Virtual Reference SIG, at least half the meeting or more will feature discussion and debate over the topic of the day.

The Virtual Reference SIG is sponsored by the Metropolitan Library Council of New York.
