Is Print Reference Dead?

Do you wish your reference collection got more use? Do you really wish more patrons knew about the great electronic reference books that are available through your library and from the Florida Electronic Library? This online program sponsored by Gale looks like it might be interesting.

Pat Luebbe, "Librarian Emeritus" at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, IL, will host this session on how libraries can best leverage their reference collection for the benefit of their end-users. Pat will address how Gale can help libraries address various reference needs including:

• Increasing usage of your reference collection
• Providing increased access to your collection across your entire library system
• Delivering vital reference resources 24/7 and putting them into "circulation" for patrons
• Freeing up valuable library shelf space

No matter what type of library you work in, you won't want to miss this opportunity to engage in a lively, interactive event with your colleagues.
