Personalizing Your Virtual Reference

Free Nylink Community Brown Bag Session
Co-sponsored with CLRC

Wednesday, May 21, 2008
11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Mid-York Library System, Utica, NY
Cost: Free! [Registration]

Reference is no longer simply the traditional face-to-face, it now includes text messaging, email, chat, instant messaging. Embarking into the virtual world of reference is an exciting sometimes daunting experience.

How, in these untraditional/virtual environments, do we maintain a personal touch?

How do we keep reference viable?

Now that we have these new tools, how do we increase reference usage?

Join us to share your answers to some or all of these questions or to hear what your colleagues have to say.

This event is free and open to anyone interested in talking, listening and learning.

We’ll provide the beverages and tasty treats; you provide your own brown bag lunch and ideas.
