LRC Live!--
Students throughout Virginia's community colleges now have a new way to access reference help from librarians.  LRC Live! (Learning Resources Centers Live) is a new service providing a "virtual reference desk" that students can access from the Web.  LRC Live! offers the opportunity to chat, online and in real time, with a reference librarian.  The reference person shares web pages and other materials directly with the person on the other end, just as if they were working together in the library.  At the end of each session, students can receive a complete transcript of the entire session, including links to web pages, if they provide an e-mail address.  LRC Live! guides students as if they were physically in the library.  LRC Live! can be located under the "Need Help?" area of the SVCC Library web page.
