What is virtual reference? Real-time Anytime, anywhere 24/7 Point-of-need In-your-face

Virtual reference = library information services delivered via the Internet, including: Web-based forms Simple chat Web site “pushing” Web site “co-browsing”

Synchronous delivery Chat Web site pushing or co-browsing Transforms library services from building- based to point-of-need.

A brief history of real-time online reference IPL starts using a MOO in November, First chat reference service at SUNY Morrisville, First Web-based chat service at Temple University, Santa Monica PL uses Web contact center software in July, 2000.

Since 2000, a phenomenal increase in real-time online reference services! Look at the two directories maintained by Gerry McKiernan and Stephen Francoeur.

Web contact center software Used by e-retailers like Land’s End and L.L. Bean. Pioneered by Susan McGlamery and Steve Coffman for use in libraries. Now used by most libraries providing real-time reference.
