Reference 2008 @ PALS Day: Another Piece of the Puzzle
Back in 2000, Michael Sauers published his first book for librarians: "Using the Internet as a Reference Tool." Recently, he finished his follow-up book, "Searching 2.0", and he’s still amazed at how much reference has changed in less than a decade. From podcasts to wikis, Google to data visualization, there are more ways to find that needle in an ever-faster-growing haystack.
Michael will talk about how reference service has changed and stayed the same, and will give plenty of practical examples that you can take back no matter the size or type of your library.
Michael Sauers is the Technology Innovation Librarian for the Nebraska Library Commission and the author of several books and the Travelin' Librarian blog.
