Lorri Mon on 01 Oct 11p.403 SMS reference early adopters: Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia & Southeastern Louisiana University, USA. p.404 unless you are quite concise, librarians may need to learn some texting abbreviations. It is possible to send the response in multiple messages (known as spanning); however, our librarians try very hard to fit a reply into one.It is made very clear that SMS reference should be used for short simple factual questions.
