I've found that the Wikipedia IRC channel [1] (aka "live chat") is often quite helpful and we could make sure that there are some librarians there for certain hours.

I can do office hours on Friday and on other days too if there’s interest – I’ll set up something later on today and send to this list. You all can be awesome and help spread the word. You can also drop in and help!
I don’t think this will be useful for the screen cast.

Merrilee and Roy,
Did you get a chance to put together office hours?
One of the items on our list for next year, I think, will be a screencast that is easily subtitled in different languages: we need to have a complex landscape of support for different types of learners.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Lots of people took stickers and were like "Oh, I can do that!" but I think we need to keep the pressure on, Maybe doing some office hours (as Merilee was talking about) during that week might help people feel more comfy with the concept. ________ Jessamyn librarian.net <http://librarian.net> ::: jessamyn.com <http://jessamyn.com> ::: jessamyn.info <http://jessamyn.info> ::: box 345, randolph vt 05060 On Tue, Jan 12, 2016 at 5:42 PM, Tennant,Roy <tennantr@oclc.org <mailto:tennantr@oclc.org>> wrote: > Jake, > I wish I could report that it went viral throughout the conference, but I > don't know that it did.
