AskMN Has a New Website and a New Participating Library

The statewide portal for AskMN, http://www.askmn.org/, has a new look! In February we updated the site to be a responsively design site that is supported on any device. We also replaced the 24/7 chat form for both the academic library queue (“college research”) and the public library queue (“question on any topic”) with the 24/7 chat widget. This was also done out of need for a responsive user experience. Now a user on a tablet, smartphone, or laptop computer will have the same experience accessing chat from the statewide portal. Take a look at the new site and test it out for yourself. We value your opinion and would love to know what you think about it. Comments can be shared here: http://askmn.org/contact. AskMN welcomes Metro State University as a participating library! Beth Staats and I will be providing training to the Metro State Librarians in March and they will begin with their new 24/7 service shortly after.
