Design/methodology/approach – This is an observational paper. Findings – This paper discusses the implications of Google+ Hangouts for libraries and reviews the main features for getting started and using Google+ Hangouts and Hangouts On Air. Originality/value – Google+ Hangouts has been specifically reviewed very rarely in prior library and/or technology literature.
