LIBRARY
SERVICES
ERef: E-MAIL reference http://www.ccsf.edu/library/eref.html
Simple e-mail
program using a free CCSF provided program.
http://www.ccsf.edu/Pub/Fac/survey2.html
These e-mail
questions go to our Google ERef account.
We generally check
our ERef account once a day.
SUGGESTION BLOG: http://ccsflibrary.blogspot.com/
We use a free
internet service at: http://blogspot.com. You can create your own blog.
Postings are sent
to my e-mail account and they are moderated—they are reviewed before they are
posted on the web. If they were not
moderated, they would automatically appear on the web which is not a good idea!
IM, Instant Message
Reference Service
“Instant messaging
(IM) is a form of online communication that allows real-time (or close to
real-time) interaction through personal
computers or mobile computing devices.”
Source: http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7008.pdf
The Library uses a
free internet program called Meebo (www.meebo.com) that allows us to sign on to
multiple IM services at the same time.
Meebo allows us to have an “embedded” chat box on
a web page. Some IM programs allows you to attach a web cam, transfer files, send
images. Meebo
does not include these features.

Online Library Skills
Workshops
We currently have
one online library skills workshop—Workshop A (Finding books and other library
materials using CityCat, the CCSF library's online
catalog).
We use html, PHP (a
web programming language), and Wink (creates instructional movies) to create
these workshops.
Assignments are
printed out and can be reviewed by librarians at any CCSF library. Students are also allowed the option of
e-mailing their assignments.
Assignments cannot
be viewed until the workshop is completed.
