Thing #5: IM

I just did my first IM with Susan. It was pretty remarkable! Maybe, I'll try it again sometime. Instant Messaging would certainly be valuable for family conferences when distance is an issue - it would be less expensive than a conference call. Perhaps, brief meetings could be scheduled via Instant Messaging to save travel expenses. Our library does not have IM capabilities as of now so references questions cannot be managed that way at this time. I know the Library Commission does offer that service now.
