      Description

KnowItNow is a free 24x7 online reference service provided for all 
Ohioans from the State Library of Ohio with the support of Ohio public 
libraries. Since its statewide launch in September 2004, KIN has rapidly 
become the busiest online reference service in the country. Hear an 
update about the service, then join in a discussion about virtual 
reference, its benefits and challenges, and its place in libraries.
