We are so excited to get to present a slate of programs this week to connect you with our new digital resources suppliers and talk about how to use CLC contracts as a new path to ebook advocacy. We hope you will join us.
Meet Chatstaff
– Monday, July 11, 2pm
Support your patrons 24/7/365 with Chatstaff's professional chat reference staffing!
https://www.ctlibrarians.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1646827&group=
Your library website and licensed resources are available to your patrons 24/7/365, but providing support around the clock can be challenging. Chatstaff was
originally created when North Carolina’s statewide virtual reference service needed a higher quality, lower cost alternative for after-hours and backup chat reference coverage. Still based in NC, Chatstaff now has customers and librarians across the country.
Set your patrons up for success with Chatstaff so they’ll have easily accessible help with a personalized touch during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Available for public and academic libraries.

Join CLC’s Ellen Paul in a conversation with John Chrastka of EveryLibrary. We’ll be talking more about what the CLC contract with Hoopla does
