College of DuPage Virtual Reference Services Teleconference
April 16th, 2004, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Central Time
Sponsored by the Library Development Division of the Texas State Library and
Archives Commission
OVERVIEW:
Discussion will focus on how libraries can seize opportunities to make their
reference services central to the information lives of users. Says Janes: "I
see the last several years as the most profound period in the history of
reference work. Nearly every aspect of the work has been re-examined, called
into question, rethought and revisited as the contexts in which it goes on
change." Issues to be discussed include privacy, collaboration, customer
service, staff training and organizational changes.

Information Science, the Information School of the University of Washington
