Synopsis

This manual offers insightful information on the technological aspects of providing an SMS & IM service, as well as how to create a training programme for librarians and how to build an internship program to expand the service.
The authors walk you through choosing the right software, including setting up a Google Voice account instead of buying a cell phone for your text messaging reference service.
Part of the award-winning TECH SET series, this highly practical guide also covers how to assess the needs of your library, get staff buy-in to implement a new programme and change the culture at your library, as well as organize and implement a staff training programme.
