text your question to l-net

We can now test and practice on our new text messaging service, in partnership with Text-A-Librarian.

I made a few-minute video to demonstrate how it works.

If you want to try it:

1. log into Spark and monitor the 'practice2' workgroup.

2. Using your mobile phone, send a text message to 66746 and begin your message with the word 'answers practice'.

3. The question should come right away. Accept it and follow the link to answer it on the Text-A-Librarian site.

4. Send your answer!

5. Close the chat session as 'completed' or 'test' or what have you.

We still have a few kinks to work out, but I am very excited to show you all this! At this point I really want to know what questions you have regarding L-net and text messaging.
