BarnardRefDesk

I just installed GAIM (an open source instant messaging product that provides access to AIM, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, SILC, Yahoo, and other IM services) on the ref desk machine. There's an icon on the desktop.

Double click the icon.
Click Accounts.
Click Add.
Under screen name put your AOL IM address, e.g. BarnardLibBertha.
If you remember you password, put it under Password.
I clicked "Remember Password" but not Auto-login.

Let me know if you need any help.
