No CommentsLive Library Help in CINAHL@EBSCOhost
We recently added a Live Help Meebo widget in the CINAHL@EBSCOhost database. Live Help is a convenient way to ask a question by instant message while searching CINAHL. After performing a search, the Live Help widget appears on the right side of the search results page.
Ask A Librarian! Using Meebo Instant Messaging (IM)
The library now offers the ability to instant message (IM) the Reference desk directly from our website – no sign up or login needed. To start a chat session with a reference librarian, go to the library’s Ask A Librarian page and simply start typing in the “IM a Librarian” widget in the center of the page.
The service is available during regular reference desk hours: Monday through Friday: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. If we are not online, email (utlibrary@uthsc.edu) your question using the form at the bottom of the same page. Or, just give us a call at 901-448-5404 or (toll free) 877-747-0004.

Furthermore, resources like Science Direct, PubMed/Medline, CINAHL, and OVID also offer topic alerts via RSS. But if you can receive the same information by e-mail, why would you use RSS?
Reaxys Replacing CrossFire (including Beilstein)
