Are Users Finding Our Online Reference Resources?
Wednesday, November 20, 2013
2pm/CST; 3pm/EST
Sponsored by the RUSA CODES Reference Publishing Advisory Committee
and the RSS Education and Professional Development for Reference Committee
Libraries spend a great deal of money on quality online reference resources in the hope that they will be useful to our communities. But are they being used? How do users discover reference resources in the online environment: teaching, research guides, stand-alone vendor resources? How do we enable users to cross multiple interfaces to reach reference sources? Join our discussions with librarians and vendors on these issues.
At the last ALA Midwinter meeting, the
Committee held a discussion to address these issues. Due to high
interest in that discussion, a webinar will be presented with another
group of publishing professionals for the panel.Libraries spend a great deal of money on quality online reference resources in the hope that they will be useful to our communities.
