An exciting new initiative for public libraries.....apologies if you've
seen this already.
>
>Ask a Librarian goes live today at
>http://www.earl.org.uk/earl/earlweb/ask.htm
>
>34 public libraries throughout the UK are collaborating to provide the
worldıs first national online reference enquiry service for the public.
Take a moment to salute our intrepid colleagues as they set out on their
mission to boldly go . . . .
>
>The service is for the public, not librarians. If you really canıt resist
the temptation to try it out, youıre welcome to do so. But remember, there
are real flesh and blood reference librarians finding answers at the other
end of the wire, so donıt give them a hard time. And no trick questions,
please!
>
>Anything you can do to publicise Ask a Librarian would be appreciated.
Please put a link on your web pages and do whatever else you can to spread
the word to the wider online community.
>
>If youıd like to know more about Ask a Librarian, just drop us a line.

>Itıs National Libraries Week! Have a good one!
