We have just posted instructions on how to use the Text an Ambassador service at ALA Annual in Chicago. Text an Ambassador is a free conference service offered by ALA, Mosio's Text a Librarian and the helpful volunteer Ambassadors. Text an Ambassador provides instant access to all the conference information you need no matter where you are. No mobile web, data plan or downloading necessary.You text your question from your phone. An Ambassador will answer. It's that easy.
Text ALA to 66746 now to test your phone or visit http://www.textalibrarian.com/ambassador.php for more info.
We're absolutely thrilled to be powering the mobile info booth at the ALA Annual Conference this summer in Chicago. The service, dubbed "Text an ALA Ambassador" for the conference, enables attendees to text questions from their mobile phones and ALA Ambassadors to answer via a web interface.
More details on how to use the service will be announced soon, but for now here's the press release.
Special thanks to this accurate (albeit early) review of Mosio's Text a Librarian from the Librarian in Black (Sarah Houghton-Jan). We officially launched the service at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in late January, so all reviews prior to this time period were on an alpha/beta system. Sarah has been very helpful in giving us feedback since then and we have launched over a dozen new features since ALA Midwinter. The carrier-approved system works on over 260 million US mobile phones and is being well received by our customers.
We invite you to stop by the site and see our features list or sign up for a webinar and try it for yourself.
