In the short term, I recommend that libraries who want to offer chat directly to their college users set up a static Zoom room, and offer CC students the option to connect directly with a Librarian via Zoom for research help. This local Zoom option can be posted on the library site, with language such as JTCCs’:
‘Connect with a JTCC librarian in the Reference Room Zoom conference (recommended for research help) 9 a.m.-5 p.m. ‘https://vccs.zoom.us/my/CCref’
