It's your choice whether you would like to stay to finish up a question after your shift has ended or if you would like to transfer the chat to someone else. If you would like to finish up, you can set your status to "Busy" in LibraryH3lp on the hour. This allows you to wrap-up any active chats without being distracted by new ones. See below for more information.

  1. Make sure other service providers have arrived for the next shift so that the service remains open
