Lynny1’s Weblog

Hi – well, my askaway session went incredibly well.  Granted, I didn’t choose a very challenging question –

I asked if there is a weekend farmer’s market on any weekend in January in Madison, WI.  It took the librarian all of 45 seconds to send me the web page with the information.  turns out there’s one every weekend in the winter! 

I think that IM is great for many types of reference questions, esp. if you want to be able to send links directly.  Sure beats a phone call for that!  Also, the back-and-forth nature allows you to have some type of reference interview going on – unlike regular email.

I liked a lot of the acronyms – maybe especially EG (evil grin).
