The Secrets Of Girl Detectives, Patricia Bravender

Patricia Bravender

Did you have a secret desire to drive a blue roadster and explore haunted mansions? Did you have chums instead of friends? Did the words ‘mystery’ and ‘clue’ give you a tingle of excitement? If you answered yes to any of these questions you were probably a girls’ mystery series fan. You were not alone; these books have been widely read and remain extremely popular today. Some, like the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories are still in print. What is the secret to their enduring and widespread appeal? Why did we all want to be like Nancy Drew, or Cherry Ames …

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.

Making Reference Service Count: Collecting And Using Reference Service Statistics To Make A Difference, Judith Garrison

Judith Garrison

The Association of Research Libraries requirements for quantifying reference services are inadequate for a complete and accurate reflection of the complex nature of modern reference services. Using resources at hand, a medium-size academic library created an online system to collect, store, analyze, and use reference statistics. Information is entered at the point of service in a Web-based interface located on the computer desktop of each librarian. When record keeping and reporting processes were customized, automated, and made accessible to librarians, the data collected proved invaluable in tracking trends in reference service, monitoring library initiatives, and providing reference librarians information for …
