Thing 7 - Communication Tools

Email: Think I got this one down. A lot of our business takes place via email here at the Medical Library. We receive/send literature searches, article requests, questions, automatic updates, professional listservs, class registrations and much more via email. I help a lot of people every day and sometimes I don't even know what they look like because all of our correspondence has been over email. We were actually just talking about email at a meeting this morning. We were trying to think of how we could keep stats on the work we do over email...any ideas?

IM: Never really understood IMing. It seems like email is a fast enough way for me to have an online conversation with someone. It is almost instantaneous, right? In any case, I installed GoogleTalk and then realized I don't have anyone to talk to!!! Lonely. I invited my co-worker to join too. And then we can talk through a wall.

Time to go home, more tomorrow!
