Welcome to the AskUsNow! Staff Blog

Welcome providers, liaisons, and friends of the Maryland AskUsNow! 24/7 virtual reference service!

This blog was set up after your own Betty Morganstern (Anne Arundel County Public Library), Joe Thompson (Project Coordinator) and Julie Strange (Operations Supervisor) after hearing Michael Stephens' keynote address at the Reinvented Reference III Preconference at ALA Annual (2007).

If you already have a blogger or gmail/google account, please let us add you so you can write posts and comments! If you don't have an account, we'll set you up with one! Our idea is that we'd have at least one log in per partner library to start off with (including all those of you who have accounts already).

Julie is currently sitting in the preconference noted above and we haven't really figured out how ya'll will log in to add content (the partner lib log ins) but we'll get to that soon. :-) In the meantime, shoot Julie an email and we'll get this rolling!

Welcome and let's roll!

Hey Joe and Julie -

This is Shannon at the WCFL, just saying hi and welcome to blogland!

Thank you Shannon! We're still trying to figure out what this is all going to be, but we're glad to be here. (although personally, i'm still pulling for a drupal site where everything is integrated and we can limit the info overload (in terms of going to 10 places instead of one). :-)
