Who’s Behind That Chat Box?
The core reference team in the Terrell Main Library staffs the library chat box found on the library homepage. You can reach us on Sunday afternoon, during the day Monday through Friday, and evenings Monday through Thursday.
So, who are we? What are our jobs? What do we look like? What do we want you to know?
Meet Megan, Eboni and Elizabeth.
Megan’s job title is Academic Engagement & Digital Initiatives Coordinator/Team Leader of Reference and Instruction. She would like all of you to know, “If you've got a research problem, chances are good that you are not alone. By asking questions, you can help us make things smoother for everyone.”
Eboni’s job title is Outreach and Programming Librarian. She would like share an African proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” She also wants to let you know, “I’m happy to join you on your research journey. I am passionate about helping you to be the best researcher you can be!”
Elizabeth’s job title is Assessment and User Experience Librarian. She would like you to know, “I enjoy hearing about Oberlin students' research, and I'm happy to help out. If you have questions, always feel free to ask me!"
