At times you will want to refer a question to another library or librarian. There are several options for referring questions in QuestionPoint:
- Shared Followup: Refer the question to the Shared Followup list.
- Email Partner: Email the question to someone (librarian, teacher, etc.) who does not have a QuestionPoint account.
- Subject Matter Expert: Refer the question to a 24/7 Coop SME.
- Partner (Subscription): Refer the question to another Answerland library.
Here is a document that details how to use each of these options.
Couple of notes:
- This is not for referring to a librarian within your library who has a QuestionPoint account. For that, use the Assign option.
- You cannot include attachments with your referrals; you must send any attachments outside of QuestionPoint.
- With Email Partner & SME referrals, you are responsible for reviewing and forwarding the referral response to the Patron.
See OCLC’s document on follow-ups and referrals for additional information.
