IM in for Informing

Yesterday afternoon, I had an IM. The student didn't have a question but a request to let someone know that there was someone who was drinking in the library. Student was at RVS (I was monitoring IM from EVC) but I called RVS Librarian to let her know that there was tea-sipper in the stacks.

Tea-Sipper was imbibing from a can of tea (or at least we think it was tea in that can) he was hiding under the desk. Student wanted to report Tea-Sipper but didn't want Tea-Sipper to know Student was the informant.

RVS Librarian was on the scene in a matter of seconds and asked Tea-Sipper to store his can at the front of the library and not under the desk.

Situation resolved with the power of IM!
