How to Add Library Chat Box to Moodle


The Ask a Librarian chat box allows students to chat with Library staff in real time, during open hours.

When the Library is not open, there will be  a message stating the Library is offline. 

 

For step-by-step instructions, download the PDF below, or go to the Library Moodle Tools page.

Chat box code:

<!-- Place this div in your web page where you want your chat widget to appear. -->
<div class="needs-js">JavaScript disabled or chat unavailable.</div>

<!-- Place this script as near to the end of your BODY as possible. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  (function() {
    var x = document.createElement("script"); x.type = "text/javascript"; x.async = true;
    x.src = (document.location.protocol === "https:" ? "https://" : "http://") + "ca.libraryh3lp.com/js/libraryh3lp.js?207";
    var y = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; y.parentNode.insertBefore(x, y);
  })();
