IM Action

I had my first experience using Instant Messenger today!! I must confess that I was confused at first. This is a good thing. It helps give me perspective when I teach our patrons Introduction To E-mail here at Mt. Pleasant Regional Library. I thought I could just dive right in and pick IM right away as though I had been using it for years. I did not realize that you created messages in the small box underneath and the dialogue ensued in the larger box up top. I sent an IM to Main reference. I wanted to let them know that I had just checked out a book by John Madden One Knee Equals Two Feet. They book circulated 31 times from 1990 to 1996 then stopped. I thought for sure it was lost. However, when I put it on hold it headed my way. It does indeed exist. I enjoy the give and take that is possible with IM. Good experience.
