LRC Gives a “TWEET” About Research
This Fall, the Learning Resources Center (LRC) took the
lead in making it
easier to answer
research and reference questions from
students, faculty
and staff by using social media (i.e. Twitter, Facebook) through a newly-created virtual librarian and
by making a significant change on its website
(http://lrc.tulsacc.edu).
Kim Monday, an avatar or computer-generated
being supported by actual LRC Librarians and Staff
Members, can answer library and technical questions and distribute research tidbits using Facebook
or MySpace. She can ―tweet‖ with LRC patrons
using Twitter and ―chat‖ online with LRC patrons
using AmericaOnLine (AOL), Google, Meebo, or
Yahoo instant messaging.
Also, the LRC can provide access to EBSCOHost
(a large LRC multi-disciplinary electronic database
with access to more than 18,500 journals and periodicals and more than 3.5 million research records)
using smart phones like Blackberry, iPhone, or Palm
750.
Lastly, subject guides have been added to the LRC
website. Each guide is a one-stop research link to
resources (periodicals, electronic databases, websites, RSS feeds) about a specific academic area
(child development, political science, psychology)-compiled by LRC Librarians in conjunction with TCC
faculty from the respective academic area. The LRC
hopes to provide more than 50 subject guides within
a two-year period.
