LibraryH3lp 101

At a glance… LibraryH3lp Jabber Server with IM Gateways AIM Chat Widgets Yahoo! MSN Librarian Google Talk SMS Text msgs

LibraryH3lp Lingo Widget patron entry point on your website. Queue specified by widget; one or more librarians assigned to the queue. Gateways Integrate other patron entry points into queue. IM (AIM, Google Talk, MSN, Yahoo!), SMS Text Messages, Twitter, Facebook (Jabber/XMPP) Client Software used by librarian to answer patron messages.

Widgets

Queue Widgets specify a queue. Queue name is visible to librarians answering chats. Librarians are assigned to queues based on expertise. o Reference, Youth Services, Circulation, Reader’s Advisory, etc…

Client Librarians use a Jabber (XMPP) client to answer chats. Feature-rich Web client available. o Development funded largely by state of North Carolina for NCknows o Referring URL, patron’s IP o Easy transfer, send file o Character countdown for text messages o Queue avatars and profile pages for context Clients also available for PC, Mac, and Linux.

IM Gateways Associated with a queue. Allow MULTIPLE librarians to monitor AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, Google Talk. IMs can be transferred just like any other chat.

SMS Gateways Lets patrons text the library at a phone number. Three different kinds available o Android phone (obsolete for US users now) o Google Voice (free, semi-fragile) o Twilio (inexpensive, very robust)

Librarians’ Web Client

LibraryH3lp Routing Model Patron chats go to ALL librarians available on a queue. First librarian to send the patron a message wins the chat. Other librarians get disconnected from that patron and receive a message about which librarian was connected with the patron.

Presence (online/offline)

Presence, with Pop-Up Widgets

Presence: Service Rollover

Collaboration Service Model Web page can: 1) Show widget for Subject Expert at Library A if online. If not…. 2) Show Library A’s widget if the library is online. If not… 3) Show widget for collaborative service. 4) If collaborative service is offline, show something else. o form for local library. o form for collaborative service. o Entry point for after-hours backup service like QP. o Nothing.

Service Rollover Code Chat requires JavaScript. <div class="libraryh3lp" style="display: none;">Chat with Subject Expert: <iframe frameborder="1" style="border: 2px inset black; width: 350px; height: 300px;"> <div class="libraryh3lp" style="display: none;">Chat with Generalists: <iframe frameborder="1" style="border: 2px inset black; width: 350px; height: 300px;"> Both Subject Expert and Generalists are offline. PUT YOUR OFFLINE OPTION HERE by inserting whatever HTML you want. <script type="text/javascript" src=" Show if patron has javascript disabled. Subject expert: first level of service. General reference queue: second level of service. Offline option: point to , backup service (like QP). Javascript makes it work.
