[collaborative-vr] Research: looking for state-wide or multi-state wide vr collaborations that have closed

[McCarthy, Sandy]

Thank you Brandon, I will add BC AskAway to the list.

Does anyone know the background to Ask Ontario?  I know that they are still open, but I remember something about changes there as well due to funding?

Hi Sandy,

To add to all the data coming in… While BC’s AskAway still exists on the academic side, the public library side closed on June 30, 2010. The service began in 2006.

Cheers,

Hi Sandy,

Attached is a spreadsheet that still needs to be updated, but may be helpful as a start.

Best,

Paul

Good afternoon

I am hoping that everyone can help with my research.  I am looking for state-wide or multi-state wide virtual reference collaborations that have closed (collapsed) in the United States and Canada.  I know that there have been posts to this listserv in the past with collapsed vr collaborations.
Please email me what you can remember.

I know of
KnowItKnow24X7 Ohio
AskDelaware no longer offers chat only email, text, phone
AskColorado is now part of a Texas Amigos

Thank you,
