“Libraries across Maryland are scheduled to begin offering a service today that combines the 24-hour convenience of the Internet with the professional expertise of a reference librarian. Maryland AskUsNow! will be the second program of its kind in the nation.”
“The program will be launched at 10 a.m. at the Towson Library.”
“Although similar services are available in other states, “the uniqueness of the Maryland program is that it is 24 hours and virtually every public library in the state is involved. We’re the second state … that has managed to pull together a consortium of libraries that can provide information at the speed of light,” said Bob Hughes, a spokesman for the Baltimore County Public Library.” (from Sun Spot)
