As a result of this morning's Reference Community Forum, I've created a new group on staff.lib that I hope will support ongoing collaborative work on the virtual reference service. You're invited to join! You can find the group by clicking on the Groups link in your Personal Tools in staff.lib, or by going to this link: http://staff.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/3076 The powerpoint, discussion ideas, readings and VR competencies from this morning's Forum have been posted on the Group site. Thanks for a lively and informative session this morning, looking forward to more good things to come! cheers Betty

emoticons

Is there a way to disable the emoticons on the Library H3lp conversation window? When I cut and paste info with parentheses, it looks normal on the response window (library staff side) but one I hit Return/Send , the left parentheses automatically converts into a frowny face emoticon. So far nobody has commented on it (I don't know if it appears the same way on the patron's screen) but one day, someone's bound to ask why I am giving them a "cranky face".
