L-net, the Oregon Libraries Network, Accepting Volunteers

L-net, the Oregon Libraries Network, provides digital reference assistance to individuals, schools, and partner libraries. In conjunction with digital reference services in other states, L-net aims to connect patrons to a reference librarian rapidly, often within a minute. To increase its staffing in pursuit of this goal, L-net is now accepting applications for volunteer librarians. Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of two hours work per week for six months. Volunteers receive approximately ten hours of training before being put on the job. Those interested in volunteering may contact Emily Papagni at emilyp @ multcolib.org.

    Do you have to live in Oregon?
    I’d volunteer for this. Two hours a week. Sure I cold probably even do it during work hours.

    I could come out for training if it was over a day or two, or a weekend. I’ve never been to Oregon. So in all seriousness I really would like to know if you have to live in Oregon.

    I’ve done askalibrarian.org in Florida and I am certain it is quite similar.

    If no one here knows I’ll probably fire off a letter to someone from the service.

    Well no one replied to my email so I guess they don’t really want people as much as we are made to believe.

    Their loss.
