Libraries with budget challenges find that sustaining existing services is hard enough, yet a growing number are able to offer new Web-based services like 24/7 reference and live homework help. Mr. Brady will discuss a series of projects where libraries found interesting ways to fund and staff these services, and, in the process, have strengthened relationships with non-library organizations, raised the library's visibility in the community, and delivered services of demonstrable value to their patrons.
