Source: Informed Librarian Take a Long Hard Look at Your Library
A guest column by Leslie Haas, Head of the General Reference Department at the University of Utah. "Like other libraries facing renovations, our librarians are asking hard questions: How do we effectively fold in the new services our patrons are expecting? How do we balance this against our role on campus as the information center? In addition to the building renovation driving organizational and service changes, we are still confronted with a world that continues to evolve, introducing new products and services at a dizzying pace. Patrons expect us to meet their ever changing information and research needs, even when they are not sure what those needs are."
