  • Instant Messaging
    Instant Messaging what’s so gr8 about it? Cybertour | March 18 | Cindi Trainor 1 What is IM? Communicate real-time Users are notified when others come online Can share files, communicate via video with most programs IM vs “chat rooms”: When chat first came about, a user would log into a room full of people who were all interested in the same topic, and all those people saw everyone’s messages, but users could send “private” messages to an individual, if desired. IM is kind of the opposite: users primarily send messages to individuals but can set up multiple user chat rooms if desired (but users control who’s in a multi-user chat by invitation). 2 Why Use IM? Instant communication Send links, files, photos instantly Can multi-task Our users are familiar with it 3 Common Features Contacts list “Display picture” – an Customize your icon representing you messages’ Privacy features appearance Log conversations Games Set your status: Send and receive “away,” “offline,” files “busy,” etc. Multi-user chat Emoticons (“smilies”) Profiles With major IM programs, users add only the people that they want to chat with to a contacts list (buddy list, friends list). Messages’ appearance: font face, color, size Files: photos, dox, etc (can sometimes be slow vs using email with attachments) Multi-user chat: “chat rooms” Icons: some are static, some are animated or even customizable “avatars.” Privacy: can set it so that only your buddies can contact you; most have invisible mode 4 But… chat reference? IM is chat reference Hosted systems can be expensive, OR Use IM to supplement hosted system If you aren’t using chat reference in your library, IM is a cheap alternative to hosted systems to get your feet wet.

    Implementing Reliable Instant Messaging at Your Library Karen McCoy Adult Services Librarian Farmington Public Library, NM Some background… More libraries are communicating with patrons in real time over the internet “Online real-time chat reference services have become increasingly prevalent in many types and sizes of libraries” (1). BUT… “Because no IM technology standard has been approved by all the major players, IM has long been problematic to libraries… but newer IM products can help resolve these dilemmas.”(2). 1.

  • Instant Messaging on the Internet: Interoperability Issues of Competition and Fair Access
    Order Code RS20688 Updated March 28, 2002 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Instant Messaging on the Internet: Interoperability Issues of Competition and Fair Access name redacted Analyst in Information Science and Technology Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Summary Instant Messaging (IM) is one of the fastest growing Internet applications. The recent debate about IM is related to the broad issues of open access rules and competition in the high speed Internet service and cable television markets. Although IM technology has evolved largely independent of formal regulation, a review of the AOL-Time Warner (AOL-TW) merger brought issues of interoperability (the ability to exchange messages between multiple IM services) among IM services under scrutiny both in the US and Europe. Concerns about open access and accessibility for the disabled, have been raised by Members of Congress, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the European Commission (EC). These issues highlight the growing complexity of regulating converging technologies. This report discusses the technology behind instant messaging and provides an overview of the issues. It will be updated as necessary. Background Instant messaging (IM) is one of the fastest growing free services on the Internet. IM combines the immediacy of a telephone call with the network presence of electronic mail (e-mail) to create an instantaneous system for exchanging messages between two people. In its simplest form, IM applications are used for the synchronous exchange of text messages. However, recent developments in IM technology also now allow users to exchange files, pictures, and even voice messages.
