July episode coming soon, article discussion

Hi, folks -- the July episode will be posted very soon. This month we tried something a little different: we're discussing and critiquing an excellent article on incorporating instructional practice into instant message reference services.

We tried to keep the discussion accessible for listeners who haven't read the article, but it's available open-access via RUSQ.
