(Fwd) Online reference project: we need you!

[Edlef Stabenau <stabenau _at__ tu-harburg.d400.de>]

Hallo Liste,

vielleicht fuehlt sich ja jemand berufen? 8-)
Ich finde das Experiment ziemlich interessant, allerdings sollte man 
schon etwas MOO/Chat-Erfahrung mitbringen oder zumindest frueher mal 
Adventures auf dem C64, Apple oder Spectrum gespielt haben. Die 
"Kommandosprachenoberflaeche" ist nicht jedermanns/fraus Sache....

Schoenen Gruss
Edlef

Would you like a completely new and exciting experience as
a librarian, on the Internet?  We are trying to staff our
library on the Internet Public Library interactive MOO.
Working with people live on the Internet is a new kind
of reference experience.  If you can volunteer one hour
a week to serve as a reference librarian on the Internet,
we would like to hear from you.

We'd like your help to staff the IPL MOO
 (telnet://moo.ipl.org:8888) from 6 to 7 pm. eastern time,
 Monday through Sunday, so that visitors to the MOO
can get reference help online in real-time.  This program
 will be a sequel to the original IPL MOO Reference Pilot
Project of 1995-1996; for a draft report on the first
project, see http://www.sils.umich.edu/~ejshaw/research2.html .
You may also want to visit the Internet Public Library's
website at http://www.ipl.org .

We will train you to use the MOO, and you can work anywhere
you have Internet access.  No matter what your level of
technological expertise, we can use your help!

Take a look at the resources above, and please feel free
to email us for more information or to volunteer your time.
 This is a chance to meet librarians from all over the
world, sharpen your Internet and reference skills, and
help members of the online community orient themselves
in a sea of information. Don't pass it up--email us now at
MOOvolunteer _at__ hotmail.com!
