Yes, that's right! OVAL's bringing back dynamic speaker Belinda Boon from
our weeding workshop last year. Only this time she is going to give you the
skills to become a top-notch reference librarian! Providing reference
service in today's libraries requires skill, knowledge, good humor and a
strong dedication to service. Good customer service must be balanced with
efficiency and speed while still getting to the heart of the user's
information needs. But limited resources and the huge number of on-line
choices can make selecting and using print or online materials confusing at
best. This workshop will include an overview of reference services and
techniques for evaluating and using print and on-line resources.

Workshop Objectives:
~Become familiar with basic print and electronic resources that will help
answer general reference questions
~Learn to evaluate print and electronic resources
~Practice reference skills through hands-on exercises

Come visit OVAL and LEARN!
