On Good Authority: Naco Participation At The University Of Southern Mississippi, Kathleen L. Wells
The Southeastern Librarian
The prospect of contributing to an authority file used by libraries throughout the United States and beyond may be somewhat daunting in itself.

The Local Nature Of Digital Reference, Teresa U. Berry, Margaret M. Casado, Lana Dixon
The Southeastern Librarian
In response to the extensive availability of digital library resources and the rising number of remote users, many libraries now offer digital reference services through e-mail and chat.

A concern expressed frequently in informal discussions of such collaborations is how difficult it would be for the staff at one library to answer questions for another, considering that many questions tend to be “local”. Intrigued by the perception of “local,” librarians at the University of …
