Beginning December 17, 2007, the Science & Engineering Library is providing science- and engineering-related reference services using meebo, AIM, Google Talk, MSN, or Yahoo Messenger.

To chat using meebo, just use the ”meebo me” widget in the right sidebar. You don’t need to install software or set up an account; just start typing. (Note: Navigating away from the page will end your chat session. Use a different browser window if you wish to browse while chatting.)

If you’d prefer to chat using any one of the IM clients listed above, you can make “utaselref” a buddy on any of them. 

Chat reference will be available during our regular reference hours. See hours for dates and times that SEL is open and the About tab in this blog for reference hours.
