24 hour librarian chat

Gee, the things you learn in library school! Until last night, I never knew that I could chat with a reference librarian 24 hours a day.
I have an assignment which requires me to ask a reference librarian a question via email, text messaging, on the phone, and in person. The assignment deadline is approaching so last night I went looking for an on line reference librarian to instant message. I assumed they would all be offline late at night. At best I expected to find one based on the West Coast where they are 3 hours behind us. But lo and behold I found one on the Brooklyn College Library site. The actual librarian may have been in California because it wasn't a Brooklyn College librarian. I was connected to a librarian service. 24 librarian service is cool. What was my question? thats for another post...

You are 100% corect. I didn't mean to say I would waste a librarians time. I meant I would ask a librarian a legitimate question that I might have waited to ask a librarian face to face the next day had I not known chat librarianship exists. I should have made that more clear.
