This article presents results from an anonymous, non-scientific, Web-based poll that aimed to learn more about how libraries and their user groups are using short messaging service reference. The results of this survey present the perspectives of librarians regarding short messaging service reference and will help libraries decide whether to offer this service and learn the best practices.

These results present librarians' experiences of implementing this new reference tool.View full textDownload full textKeywordsvirtual reference, SMS reference, texting, libraries, mobile servicesRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02763877.2012.704569
