Hello ARLIS,
Help Reference and Information Services Section develop a session or sessions for the 2013 conference
in Pasadena! Do you have a paper idea relating to any of the topics
listed below? (These were the ideas generated during the RISS meeting in
Toronto.)
Here are our suggested themes:
- Assessing
reference services: How is your library evaluating reference
transactions? What about new methods such as chat and text reference or
reference appointments? How have evaluations impacted the services you
provide?
- The expanded role of the art librarian: Many art librarians now also
have liaison duties that fall beyond the scope of fine arts and art
history training. Conversely, our non-art librarian colleagues are more
regularly called upon to assist art students and faculty with reference
questions. How are you preparing for reference and instruction
responsibilities that fall outside of your subject specialty? How do you
cross-train your colleagues in arts reference? Are you working with
other departments on digital humanities or other cross disciplinary
projects that reflect the shift in our profession?
Please email me at [log in to unmask] with with a rough draft of your proposed topic. We would
like to have any ideas by June 20 so we have time to shape the session proposals.
Thank you!
Emilee
