Students, researchers, instructors, and staff who visit AskAway can access the service from a variety of different entry points. An AskAway entry point might be a widget such as an embedded chat box or a chat tab, or it might be a link to a chat box. AskAway entry points can be added to the library's website, LibGuides, databases, discovery layer, learning management system, and a number of other locations.
