Can you tell us if their own librarians are handling e-reference, or if they've contracted with an outside service? Also, is the UC's examination of participatory librarianship an institution-driven or library-driven decision? > > To everyone on the list... I'd be curious to know what other institutions are seriously considering, or opting for, participatory librarianship. Is anyone else willing to share on this topic? > > Sandra > > > Sandra J.

Currently in place is system-wide chat reference, and at UCSD reference is definitely evolving towards a predominantly e service. As a selector, I do consider whether a book might be acquired as a e-book, but I too am often not satisfied with the quality of images, or in some cases the lack of images, so almost always opt to buy the print version. I still have the authority to make this choice, at least for now! > > Leslie > > UCSD Arts Library > > > Sent from my iPad > > On Oct 4, 2011, at 6:52 AM, "Lockard, Ray Anne"<[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: > > Dear Colleagues, > > Our library system is moving inot what is being called "participatory librarianship" this year. All kinfds of changes will be made. Including user driven materials selection and, as I understand it, removal of reference desks, etc. More purchasing of e-books. I have refused to purvchase e-art books due to images or lack thereof.
