_New and Improved LiveRef(sm)_
I'm pleased to announce a New and Improved LiveRef(sm)!
[ In case you do not have LiveRef(sm) bookmarked [:-)] or at the end of your finger tips [:->], the Web address for LiveRef(sm) is
[ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/LiveRef.htm ] ]
In addition to a growing number of real-time digital library sites, I've added
* a core bibliography of relevant articles, reports, news reports, etc.
about real-time reference services, many linked to the full-text!
* entries for other real-time digital reference services registries
* entries for other real-time digital reference services bibliographies
* entries for conferences and workshops, and surveys and comparison
* a link to a knowledge base [an emerging trend and one of my research
projects for 2002] [:->] For More: KBL(sm): A Registry of Library Knowledge Bases
[ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/KBL.htm ]
These complement current entries for real-time digital reference technologies
and electronic discussion lists.
As time permits, I will be adding a number of libraries that are now using Virtual Reference Desk Software (LSSI) as well as the 24x7 participants, and entries for papers from the VRD 1999 and 2000 Conferences
[ http://www.vrd.org/conf-train.shtml ] in the General Bibliography
Suggestions for additional sites, citations, sources, etc., are Always Welcome!
