- Open discussion: Reference models
Reference models and the changing nature of reference was
high on the list of webinar topics. It was also one of the most popular
sessions at the 2014 ARLIS/NA conference. Let’s revisit the topic informally.
Please come ready to tell us:
What does your reference model look like? For example,
- Do you have a
standalone reference desk?
- Do you have
tiered reference?
- Do you have
librarians, staff, students staffing the desk and other reference service
points?
- What types of virtual services do you offer?
Mobile APPS?
Why have you or your institution chosen this model? Are
you considering a change?
Think about how academic, museum, and public library
reference desks differ & what can we learn from each model?
Other ideas?
Check out the PowerPoint slides from the 2014
presentation “Retooling Art Reference and Information Services: Collaborative
Tools, Strategies, and Models”
Looking forward to seeing you in Fort Worth!
Sincerely,
