Practicing QuestionPoint: Access

Before Your Practice:
1. Make sure your browser is set up for QP.
2. Setup guide is in the Download Section of the discussion board or available at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www5.oclc.org/questionpoint/Chat_setup.pdf">http://www5.oclc.org/questionpoint/Chat_setup.pdf</a><!-- m -->

Using the Practice queue: available any time.
1. Both the practice librarian and the practice patron must go to the QuestionPoint home page, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.questionpoint.org">http://www.questionpoint.org</a><!-- m --> and log in using the ‘Librarian login' link and your 6 digit authorization number and password.

2. Practice librarian clicks on Launch Chat and chooses ‘Monitor Practice Queue only’ and clicks Save.

3. Practice patron clicks on ‘Chat Patron Practice Form’ at the My QuestionPoint page.

Using the Real Queue: available until 8/18/2008.
1. Only the practice librarian must go to the QuestionPoint home page, <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.questionpoint.org">http://www.questionpoint.org</a><!-- m --> and log in using the ‘Librarian login.’

2. Practice librarian clicks on Launch Chat and chooses ‘Primary Queue: B VCCS’ and clicks Save.

3. Practice patron uses one of the patron URLs from the list. Since it doesn’t matter which one you use for practice, here is the basic VCCS system link, so you don’t have to go look up a URL. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.questionpoint.org/crs/servlet/org.oclc.home.TFSRedirect?virtcategory=12972">http://www.questionpoint.org/crs/servle ... gory=12972</a><!-- m -->
