Hi

The Library of Congress (http://lcweb.loc.gov/) and its partner libraries are launching a pilot project to bring librarians' expertise to the Internet by forming a global reference desk that is available 24 hours, seven days a week. Collaborative Digital Reference Service (CDRS) and more information is available at http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/digiref/ .

Libraries are fighting the suggestion that web-based search and answer
tools will be their replacements through a new virtual reference desk
called the Collaborative Digital Reference Service
(http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/digiref/). The service is not yet live.
