Re: [Lib-virtual-ref] social channels integration

Hi Nicole, I would like to let you know that the WRHA Twitter account has been added to LibApps. At this moment, the integration is limited to LibAnswers. I have added that account to the LibAnswer queue. Thus, users can send tickets to LibAnswers via Twitter. The tickets will then come into our open Tickets queue. I am ccing Lib-VR since there is only one ticket queue in LibAnswers. It is used by both UM and WRHA.

We are receiving a number of questions from these patrons and they could be contacting chat reference for assistance. Here are the facts: * These users are now being served through the WRHA Virtual Library and are being transitioned to new user ids. * New WRHA VL user ids were sent out by email in January. * Users from personal care homes and community funded agencies have a registration process found here http://libguides.lib.umanitoba.ca/wrha/chapch * Not all WRHA staff are eligible for a WRHA Virtual Library Account. * Some WRHA staff also have, or are eligible for UMNetIDs. They are free to use both, and are encouraged to claim their UMNetIDs. * WRHA staff may borrow items in-person at U of M Libraries. Circulation staff are to override and check out the item to the patron’s VL account found in ALMA * Do NOT extend 338 cards for WRHA patrons.
