women librarians of "desk set"
Originally uploaded by library_mistress
I love the idea of librarians promoting their skills and knowledge this way but I am unsure of the usefulness of this from our library's point of view. I guess it is like Ask Now but done in a less formal manner. Also, it worries me if some people take the advice they are given on these answer boards to heart. How does Yahoo make sure that the answers are reliable and correct.
This technology could be used to allow the Ask Now service to be placed on our website and it then may become part of our Information request services. Just an idea

Perhaps as an organisation we could decide to use it as a marketing tool rather than view it as core reference business - answer questions on a semi regular basis with a signature line that highlights the ASK NOW service.
