*Apologies for cross postings*

Earlier this week, a new white paper was released titled "The State of
Reference Collections" by Elisabeth Leonard, Executive Market Research
Manager at SAGE and Former Reference Librarian.

Leonard conducted the study using a combination of a survey (n = 482),
several focus groups, and interviews. Her article explores how the
definition of reference is changing, in part because reference
resources now look and feel like other information sources and because
other information resources perform the traditional purpose of
reference - answering research questions.

Those attending the ALA Annual Meeting are invited to join Elisabeth
for a special in-booth presentation of the white paper results on
Sunday, June 29 at 11am in the SAGE Booth #743. Light breakfast will
be served. To RSVP, email [log in to unmask]
