Meebo Status

Reminder: If you're going to step away from the reference desk, please set your status to "I'll be right back." This can be done in the sidebar that's usually at the right-hand side of the Meebo screen. At the top of the sidebar, look for the the little emoticons for adding users, just below that is your status line which is usually set at "I'm available." If you click on that status line, a drop down list will appear with a number of prefab status options from which you can select one.
Thanks,

Project Wombat

Ever been stumped with a tough reference question? I know I have. When I can't seem to verify a quotation or think of the best way to find specific historical data, Project Wombat is one of the things that comes to mind. It's a discussion list for those difficult to answer reference questions. It's a public list in that everyone can submit questions and answers are archived for future reference. They helped me out a lot with a couple of questions from my reference classes in library school.

Just wanted to share.
