Reference Reborn: Challenges Facing Academic Libraries In New Jersey And The Nation, Update 2020, Samantha Kennedy, Daniel G. Kipnis, Ashley Lierman
Libraries Scholarship
Libraries need to challenge their perceptions to meet the needs of all users. From our national mixed-methods survey on the status of United States academic libraries’ reference services (260 respondents) we received 40 responses from libraries in New Jersey. This presentation seeks to compare the current reference models and perceptions of librarians in New Jersey with those around the country, based on our survey results. We will highlight strengths and weaknesses of New Jersey librarian attitudes towards reference as well as the steps we can take to do better. Attendees will be invited to join the conversation using interactive technology.
