Hola!
Well I had to do a little "work" to remember how to log into by blog here! Not that THAT reflects in any way on how much I have been using my blog over our break. :)
So anyway, for the IM assignment: IM'ing is fun! I can see why people sit in our library every day for hours on end doing so. I remember my daughter saying [a few years back] that it was so much better than using the telephone to call her friends and talk. Of course since then, she got her cell phone...then calling was cool again...and now text messaging via the phone is just so much better than talking... :)
I think that using IM between staff both in and outside of the building could be very useful. My office is away from our REF DESK, and it might be helpful to be able to IM staff at that desk, or the supervisors in their offices. I'm not sure how the other people would feel about it. But we do have a few people from our library in this class, so I'll see if we can get it started and see how it works!

Welcome back, Maria!
It is interesting to think about how there will always be a "cooler" thing around the corner to use.
But I gotta say, I still love IM for those quick questions, rather than waiting for an email response or getting up off my chair and walking down the hall!!!
