Teaching in a Virtual Reference Space

Dempsey, P.R. (2016). “Are you a computer?” Opening exchanges in virtual reference shape the potential for teaching. College & Research Libraries, 77(4), 455-468. DOI: 10.5860/crl.77.4.455

This article was thorough and well researched. It also provided direction toward further research which included: whether student assistants would bring strengths or weaknesses to live chat, how librarians avoid or include teaching, and further investigation concerning the percentage of libraries who restrict chat to brief questioning. This article did a great job in addressing each question and further examining perspective reasons for findings.  This article was quite interesting and somewhat informative, I think I would recommend it if it pertained to someone’s research.
