š</span>ā¦ In Answerland, we have Oregon Health and Science University as a āreferral partnerā in our cooperative. Basically, they donāt staff live chat but we send tickets their way that require medical expertise. They are the only allopathic medical school
in Oregon. Additionally for alternative medical modalities, we have Oregon College of Oriental Medicine as a āreferral partnerā library as well. I wish that they staffed live chat maybe that will happened one day. Hope this helps.

participating in cooperative virtual reference? Do you feel thereās sufficient support within the cooperative for a health sciences or hospital library to join?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
