Chat to Colleagues

You can use the 'Chat' icon to chat with other BGCI toolbar users when they are online. A great way to contact colleagues around the world, or to talk to the BGCI webmaster.

You can easily hide the toolbar, and it can be customised to give you quick links to your work tools as well as to the BGCI resources.

Recent Feedback about the BGCI Toolbar:

"Just to say I really like the toolbar - it's dead handy for searching the garden database, and I like the way you can switch between what you are searching."
