Hello

Does anyone out there offer an electronic reference service? I am
particularly interested in academic libraries which may be offering such a
service to their own local clientele and/or others in a different time zone
by reciprocal (or other) arrangement. If this is happening, how is it
organised? By normal reference staff on top of other duties? Rostered
specially?

The dreaded 24x7 is upon us=21

If this has been discussed somewhere already, could someone refer me in the
right direction please.

Thanks
Jill More
