Title

Leveraging the wave : the role of todays's academic refernce librarian

Source

Reference librarian. 1998, no.59, S.93-102

Year

1998

Abstract

Academic libraries currently house both the old and the new, and librarians are expected to provide links among changing formats while teaching users to uitilize the tools available to them. External factors like institutional mission, departmental infrastructure, and the availability of resources can determine the ease with which the reference librarian can stay afloat in the vast sea of technological change, and may influence the direction of flow, but ultimately it is the flexibility, resourcefulness and creativity of the librarian that will determine whether the library's contribution is of lasting value, or not
