The Unquiet Library is pleased to announce the addition of Meebo to our Web 2.0 toolbox! Although Meebo is sadly blocked on campus, you can Meebo our virtual reference desk after school hours from home if you need research assistance. I have embedded a Meebo widget on our wiki home page so that you can see when either I, Mrs. Hamilton, or Mrs. Fleet is online to answer your reference questions after school.
We also have a Meebo widget embedded in the left sidebar of this blog for you as well! We look forward to chatting up your reference questions!
We hope The Unquiet Library Meebo chat tool will be another way that we can assist you with your research questions!
