Reference: Get Details!
Think of reference consultations and interactions as informal teaching opportunities.
Gather information & look for patterns!
Class, instructor, assignment
> ask to copy, scan, take a photo
Talk to instructors!
> clarify assignments
> share with colleaguesSlide7

Research Collaboratory
Purpose: For the use of librarians and students during research consultations
Devoted quiet space for students to discuss and work with librarians on their projects
Goals:
To use this space as we continue to offer more one-on-one or small group research consultations with studentsSlide9
Future Plans: Warner Classification System
Developed by Warner and colleagues at Eastern Carolina University’s Health Sciences Library to better gauge staff resources necessary in answering reference questions
Warner Model will help us to
more accurately assess
informal teaching activities
embedded in our reference services
Warner, D.G. (2001). A new classification for reference statistics.
Reference & User Services Quarterly, 41(1), 51-55.Slide10
Warner Classification System
Implementation: Fall 2015/Spring 2016Need:
Current system of collecting reference transaction information does not detail specific question, nor does it differentiate between basic/intermediate/complex reference questions
Current system does not accurately reflect type of informal teaching that librarian provides
Goals:
Improve informal instruction we provide for students
through reference
Understand how our reference services add value to students’ experiencesSlide11
