Well, it is too late tonight to reach anyone in IM. So I left a message. If I get a reply, I'll put it on the blog. One of the readings, Instant Messaging Tools and Technology: A Mini-Guide, said that as IM got more familiar it would get more asynchronous. I am willing to be convinced!
I got a hoot watching Sarah Long doing the interview on YouTube. It proves the old fogeys are still at it, working away on 2.0.
As for VBPL IM, the person who was on the last shift tonight got a Reader Advisory question. I'm thinking we need to populat the "rooms" on the Virtual Library with reading lists to which the staff taking IM shifts could refer. We also need to build an electronic ready reference database for them to check. It's all very well to have an IM widget, but we need to put resources at the staff's fingertips to make it a success.
So, will I get an email from the next IM shift? Come back and see. OK?

I'm hoping you did get an answer to your question - but thinking you might not have!
I never did get any response. And I never seem to be on this blog when IM is online, alas.
