The Research Support Missionaries are asking for where they refer patrons who ask for help using Wiki searches and for other Wiki help questions. They answer many of the questions, but when they don't know the answers, to what resource should they turn? Jbparker 19:39, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Would it not be the Forums? Thomas Lerman 19:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it would be the forums, there are plenty of questions and answers there about technical issues, and 'how too' general use questions, like the searching questions mentioned. If you haven't, take a look. JamesAnderson


 * Yes, I know about the forums and the great guidance that is given there. But they are asking if there is a high-level phone-desk they can call, when they have a patron on the phone and they cannot find the answer in Wiki or forums, etc., like they can call the International desk in the Library as a last-resort on International research questions. I've already referred them to the forum, and explained how they can send in a report on something that doesn't work like they think it should (report search problem or contact us or feedback).Jbparker 03:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Just for your information, check out the new Infobox and Populated Places templates .... at Baker County, Oregon. Has one more template to tweak before we will finally arrive at a point where anything is possible. (Hint to Jbparker, you will love it since you tried first time.) dsammy 17:30, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
