07:48 chuck hey anyone home?

07:48 chuck do you have any sort of ready-made scripts for radio or TV for promoting an Undergrad Commons in the Library?

07:49 chuck I'm at Florida State

07:52 chuck I'll hang out in case someone shows up :)

17:16 jsstover chuck?

17:16 jsstover sorry i missed ya!

17:18 jsstover i don't know about the scripts you mentioned, but i'm not sure that ready-made is the way to go...i'd like to hear more about what you'd like to do.

17:28 jsstover i have a question:

17:29 jsstover does anyone know of libraries using text messaging for reference or other services?

17:32 jsstover i only know of one place, Sims Memorial Library, that has done this:

http://www2.selu.edu/Library/ServicesDept/referenc…

17:38 jsstover so maybe i just answered my own question but i'm curious as to how these efforts are working out and what barriers are out there in adopting sms.

17:59 jsstover oh, well, it wasn't much of one. i just mentioned that...

18:00 jsstover i haven't heard of any scripts

18:00 Chuck@FSU it must be beyond as far as i can scroll uop

18:00 Chuck@FSU kk thats cool

18:00 jsstover but i wasn't sure if pre-made was the route you wanted to go - did you just want to get an idea?

18:00 Chuck@FSU yea i wanted to find a ready- made script -- the tweak it

18:00 Chuck@FSU **then

18:01 Chuck@FSU no biggy -- i was just being lazy

18:01 Chuck@FSU I can some up with some -- i think its pretty straightg forward

18:01 jsstover yeah, i was going to say, just listen to radio/tv ads you like

18:01 Chuck@FSU i love this embeeded thing
