[Ross Fuqua]

Hello REFORMA Oregon!

We are very, very pleased to officially announce the launch of Answerland en español<https://answerland.org/>! Our statewide virtual reference cooperative now supports Spanish speakers.

We will continue to announce this widely throughout our channels in Oregon, but please help us get the word out about this service to your local professional communities and the communities you serve.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns, please contact our Answerland Coordinator, Tamara Ottum (her email is below), and a HUGE thank you to those of you on this list who have been helping get Answerland en español up and running.

Answerland, our statewide virtual reference service, now offers support for Spanish speaking patrons! Patrons can go to answerland.org<https://answerland.org/> and chat with a Spanish speaking librarian. This service is currently supported by 15 bilingual library staff at 9 Oregon libraries who are staffing the Spanish-language question queue, and also helped translate web & promotional content.

All Oregon libraries are welcome - and encouraged! - to link to Answerland. Details on how to do so, including graphics and sample language, are at Connect Your Library<https://answerland.org/get-involved/connect-your-library/>.

We also encourage libraries to spread the word to their local communities. See Promote Answerland<https://answerland.org/get-involved/promote/> for sample social media posts and promotional text.
