LibChat Widgets - ucsf-ckm/ucsf-library-ux-and-web-documentation GitHub Wiki
- LibChat is part of LibApps, however, we are using the UC level instance — not the UCSF one.
- It is meant to only be for research/reference questions
- Chat is staffed across the UCs with each campus providing a certain number of hours to provide as much coverage as possible within the UC Libraries.
- Micquel and Peggy are the product owners
Initial soft launch will only have widgets in these places:
- reusable LibGuides widgets (in-page chat and button pop-out)
- Ask an Expert/Searching and Managing the Literature (slide-out tab)
- Ask an Expert/Faculty Support/Teaching and Research (slide-out tab)
