This site is a one of a kind reference resource in the United States. In addition to offering Spanish language chat reference without requiring local library barcode authentication, there is also a comprehensive list of Spanish web sites, classified under thirty plus subject categories, entitled "sitios del Web," useful to Spanish-speakers for answering a range of questions. Both services are available from the link, "Información en Vivo / Pídalo Aquí."
