Why Text A Librarian?

Text a Librarian was developed by taking an award winning mobile questions and answers technology and speaking with a handful of reference librarians to find out what would make it useful, accessible and affordable for libraries to use.

• Easy to Implement, Easy to Use
  From ordering to implementation and training to educating patrons, Text a Librarian makes it easy for you to get started with short, easy to remember SMS keywords that you choose.
• Secure & Reliable
  Text a Librarian has been developed with end-user security and privacy in mind, including utilizing carrier approved mobile technologies.
• Text a Librarian is not a hack.
  We truly applaud all of the workaround systems developed to put SMS reference in libraries, but many come with elements of risk, depending on your library's privacy policies.
  
  Text a Librarian utilizes carrier approved mobile technologies and keeps patron phone numbers private. You control the data.
  
  
• Cost Effective
  Text a Librarian offers function, ease of use, security, and top quality support at a fraction of what it would cost a library to accomplish on its own. Libraries are able to avoid the hassles of cell-phone carrier approval, software development and training. With Text a Librarian, your reference staff can focus on serving the community.
• Reporting
  Libraries can now quickly and easily create statistical analysis of their reference services. How many questions answered? How long does it take to answer the typical question? How many questions are received about a certain subject?
