We're grappling with this here at the University of South Florida as part
of our Virtual Library project. Those little email links on all the pages
and the "ask-a-reference-librarian" page helps. We don't get a flood of
email from this, but at least our users have a way to contact us. Anyone
else have further ideas to ensure that we maintain high-touch in our
high-tech world?
