Week Nine: Instant Messaging

This was a fun lesson!
Tell us what you think of Instant Messaging; It is a fast way to connect with one or more people and has many advantages. One being there is no disturbing sound in an otherwise quiet environment like a library. Another is you can be chatting while working on other projects on the computer. You can look for answers in another Window. You can also ask other librarians for tips or advice while working on the projects.
Do you like it? I love chatting via IM!!!
What concerns do you have using a tool like Instant Messaging? Well, I do find that it is easier to be misunderstood on occasion - since messages tend to be abbreviated, some of the meaning is at risk of being lost or misconstrued.
Has it changed the way you work at all? YES - see above.
