Over in an Instant

I just took Michael Stephen’s survery on IM use in libraries, and now I’m a bit glum.

My library doesn’t use IM at all, except through the KANanswer program that we, as a Kansas library, participate in. I can’t IM coworkers, I can’t IM other library professionals, I can’t IM patrons except as an anonymous KANanswer reference librarian. It’s a bit frustrating. Reading other librarians talking about IMing each other…I feel left out.

    But I have you on my buddy list! If you aren’t allowed to install the client, then use Meebo.com – you must IM with your fellow library people! :)

    IMing a home is no problem. But as far as I know, it’s against my library’s policy to IM at work (except when doing KANanswer). Although maybe I should look into that…
