In this blog ,I will be discussing on the the effectiveness of Social Networking Services  in the Library of Curtin University of Technology ,Australia.

 

Curtin University of Technology Library offers Instant Messenger chat service to answer your library-related questions. They have two IM clients namely MSN Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. More details are given below.

 

Welcome to the AskOnline Instant Messenger Service!

 

 It can said that this service also can assist library users to get more information on library services and about reference sources or any library related issues. Since Yahoo Messenger and MSN Messenger services are free services, users need not to pay for such services.

 

 These Web.2.0 tools and services used in CUT Library takes the  library beyond its four walls .There are similar services available in Vancouver like the “Provincial ASKWAY Program ” that permit library users in British Columbia to take advantages from Virtual Reference Services.
