In the summer of 2008 Wendt Commons undertook the ambitious task of formalizing a training program for all library staff (including students) who work at the combined services desk. Panelists will discuss the development process, show materials created for the pilot program, and offer an evaluation of the outcome. Please attend this session for an engaging discussion of library staff training and leave with ideas that can be implemented in any library setting.

To Chat Or Not To Chat: That Is The Question, Patricia Bravender, Colleen Lyon, Anthony Molaro
To Chat Or Not To Chat: That Is The Question, Patricia Bravender, Colleen Lyon, Anthony Molaro
Patricia Bravender
In the midst of an economic crisis, libraries must continue to provide essential services with fewer staff and resources. Is online chat one of these essential reference services, and, if so, are the reference skills of a librarian necessary to answer the majority of chat questions? Should librarians provide chat reference no matter what the cost? This program will present an analysis of one academic library's chat reference service for two years. It will also detail the creation of a chat reference service at a public library based on the results of this study.

SPLAT is supported by the Idaho Commission for Libraries (ICFL), the state agency responsible for assisting libraries. The members of SPLAT are innovation representatives, comprised of library staff who search and experiment with SM trends and online tools, learn, and share the best ways to integrate them into the reference …

Mobile Librarian Service To The Wayne State University College Of Nursing, Nancy A. Wilmes
Library Scholarly Publications
In recent years, College of Nursing faculty and students have visited the Science and Engineering Library (which houses the Nursing Collection) less frequently to obtain reference assistance and research support.

To address these important resource and service issues, the Nursing Librarian Liaison has been offering reference service and research support in person, on-site in the Wayne State University College of Nursing office building. This …

User Satisfaction With Electronic Reference: A Systematic Review, Elaine M. Lasda Bergman, Irina I. Holden
University Libraries Faculty Scholarship
