Instant messaging would be a great tool for internet based reference. However, I do see it being limited by staff being available and willing to do it. Since the only desk staff a staff person is at constantly through out the day is the public service desk, it would definitely have to be something all staff would be willing to use.
Text messaging is a great tool for me personally to communicate with my 20 year old son. He does not like to talk on the phone so it is a great way to stay in touch without annoying each other! I also have just tried the google service. I can see that would be useful searching for phone numbers or restaurants and businesses when on the road. However if you don't have a data plan it could get expensive!
Webinar's are a great learning tool without haveing to travel to the presenters location. Allthough they can be difficult to participate in while at work, since it is easy to get distracted by work responsibiliites. Having a quieter location to participate in a webinar is a very good thing.
