Resurrecting Reference

Thursday, July 31, 2008

There's no denying that changes in technology, information availability, and the deference paid (or not!) to experts have changed the face of reference forever. That's a good thing! In their upcoming webinar, Infopeople's podcasting pundits Joan Frye Williams and George Needham will share their provocative views of the role of the reference librarian in today's world, along with examples of the good, the bad, and the ugly in the library community's ongoing effort to reestablish reference as a high-value service. Don't miss George and Joan's lively commentary on reference trends and innovations, and their suggestions for rethinking, reorganizing, and redeploying reference assets for improved results.
