LRC
Live!--
Students throughout Virginia's community colleges now have a new way to
access reference help from librarians. LRC Live! (Learning
Resources Centers Live) is a new service providing a "virtual reference
desk" that students can access from the Web. LRC Live! offers
the opportunity to chat, online and in real time, with a reference
librarian. The reference person shares web pages and other
materials directly with the person on the other end, just as if they
were working together in the library. At the end of each session,
students can receive a complete transcript of the entire session,
including links to web pages, if they provide an e-mail address.
LRC Live! can be located under the "Need Help?" area of the
SWCC Library web
page. Access is also available via the online
SWCC Library Catalog.
