[Isl-askaway] AskAwayIllinois.info lives. Really!

[Pardue, Bill]

After a lot of tech issues, the http://www.AskAwayIllinois.info website is once again active.

"What's up with that?  Isn't AskAway Illinois gone?" you ask.  It's not gone, not really.  There's no administrative "center" to it right now (except perhaps Lauri McIntosh of OCLC), but QuestionPoint still deals with participating  Illinois libraries as a consortium (and we still get consortial pricing) and lots of us still cover cooperative shifts.

Most of our users will discover the service coming through our own sites.  However, the site at http://www.askawayillinois.info is a tool that can also redirect users (based on your zip codes, for public libraries) to discover your service.  It's also a gateway to AskAway/QuestionPoint information on the WebJunction Illinois site, for librarians.

Regarding the currency of information on the site, I do see a few things that need updating and I'll be taking care of those in the next day or two.

In the meantime, if you're with a public library, please check the zip codes you serve in the search box on the site and make sure it's directing users to the right QP form.

K12 & Academic librarians, please check the lists of participating libraries to make sure you're properly represented there.

Let me know if anything needs to be fixed.

Thanks!
