Dear web4lib members,
Please join Nylink at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City
on October 9th, 2002, for a conference on virtual reference service
featuring five well-known speakers:
Keeping Reference Relevant: Is Virtual Reality?
Fashion Institute of Technology
Seventh Avenue at 27th Street, New York, NY
October 9th, 2002
9:30 am - 4:30 pm
Are you ready for reference of the virtual variety? Virtual reference has
become an important innovation and decision for many libraries. With the
growth of electronic information and the World Wide Web instant reference
delivered remotely has become a user expectation and a library goal. This
raises many questions and issues for libraries: why do it? what are the
options? what is the decision-making process? what are the training and
other policy issues? Finally, now that you have it, what will you do with
it?
Please plan to join us on October 9th at the Fashion Institute of Technology
in New York City to hear our well-known speakers address all of these issues
and more concerning the planning, implementation and maintenance of a
virtual reference service. We are pleased to have Anne Lipow, Library
Solutions Institute and Press; Susan McGlamery, Coordinator for Reference
Services for the Metropolitan Cooperative Library System (Greater Los
Angeles Area); Tracy Strobel, Web Site Coordinator, Cleveland Public
Library; Edana Cichanowicz, Development Coordinator, Reference Services &
New Technologies, Suffolk Cooperative Library System; and Maureen Morris and
Virginia Cole, Reference & Digital Services Librarians, Cornell University
as our speakers.
