[Web4lib] One consequence of the digitization programs

This appears to be part of the ASK in Research and Learning.

In my opinion, Sources and Experts in the various fields
of education, need to be directly connected to Library
reference consultants, to make the service effective.
This would require a book/database reviews online interface,
with higher education  agencies, institutes and resources,
as well as their individual school specialty departments.

  Yes, we let them know of newer items, but that only occurs if they
participate in a reference desk transaction. Most often patrons would
conduct their own search and locate the items on their own. They would
than use the self checkout machine or use the Circulation Desk that is
often no manned by trained librarians. The staff at that service point
do not do much in the way of recommendations.

I also do not think we can rely solely on chronological date as a
measure of accuracy as your examples seem to suggest.
