<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">L-net, Oregon's statewide digital reference service, welcomes its newest partner library, the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine Library. The OCOM library will be answering questions via e-mail about Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Acupressure, Qi Gong, Shiatsu, and Chinese herbs.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">OCOM joins two medical libraries, National College of Natural Medicine Library and Oregon Health & Science University Library, that have been answering L-net reference questions related to health and medicine. And we have 30 other partner libraries ready to answer just about any reference question that's thrown at them.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">L-net has two goals:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The first is to provide quality online reference service to all Oregonians. Last year, L-net answered over 20,000 reference questions from Oregon citizens online through live chat and e-mail. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Our second goal is to provide workers in Oregon libraries with skills and tools to deliver online reference service. All Oregon libraries are invited to partner with L-net. If you provide reference service in-person, you can provide it online with L-net.</FONT></P>
