Chat reference libraries

From LISWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Contents

This list is for libraries with some form of synchronous or chat reference services. An exhaustive list of libraries offering other virtual reference services is nowadays akin to a list of libraries that offer telephone service; to search the thousands of library sites which employ e-mail links or simple web feedback forms, see Libweb.

Groups of libraries broader than the individual institutions (individual libraries, libraries within the same university system, or public library county branch system) are shown in bold.

Listed by country, state, and then alphabetically by institution (or service name for cooperatives). Vendor information and other notes are listed when possible.
