...for those that are already familiar with IRC that's great -- I've been in IRC
exactly once and found it massively confusing.
I can offer to be on WebEx in my "personal room." I can commit to having the
room open between 9 am and 4 pm Pacific on Friday and have blocked out the time on my
calendar. If others would like to come and hang out with me (like for an hour) that would
be great. Who knows how much interest there will be? WebEx supports screen sharing, so I
figure I can share screens back and forth with those who log in (including other
"experts") to give assistance to those who show up.
If this is successful, then perhaps we can repeat sometime next week.
I'll put something on the page -- feel free to distribute!

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.

Jake,
I wish I could report that it went viral throughout the
conference, but I
don't know that it did. Jessamyn West took a
stack of them and
she may have
more to report. Both the National Library of
Medicine and OCLC
exhibit
booths had them, and I also saw, on the last day,
that they still
had some
"I edit Wikipedia" ribbons out on
display. But I'm not sure how many
stickers booth staff gave out. In any case, I know that a lot
more people
heard about 1Lib1Ref than would have otherwise,
so hopefully that
will get
more people to participate.

Hi Roy!
While you're recovering from mid-winter, how did it go? What was
the buzz
like? How were the stickers
received/displayed??
Thanks again so much for being the "giver of swag and hope".
