reference collection
we don’t have one
primarily online resources licensed and Google
reference books circulate infrequent and specialized use 100% physical objects in stacks one call number sequence
![Page 23: “… what they will be”](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812bd4550346895d903bc2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
reference desk
we don’t have one
was guardian of reference collection directional and how-to reference at one-stop
service desk Internet has siphoned off fact check, other ref
questions online systems are more intuitive

reference service
referral from primary service desk no ref desk assignment, but on call as
needed no desk phones – all Librarians are mobile online shared reference
reference desk duty with pizza and Simpsons

Supplemental Course Resources
100% digital often simply a link to what is already online –
interaction with Program Librarian is vital element
library funds permissions, digitization linked to course management system

earlier:Why go to the Library?
place: passive
library: process
“a process of self-actualization, based not on what [it is], but what [it is] becoming”
Bruce Sterling. Shaping Things. Cambridge, MIT Press, 2005 p.52
![Page 65: “… what they will be”](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812bd4550346895d903bc2/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
research library
library: connector to resources and tools
“thought center: a place to convene scholars around interdisciplinary topics” Carol Mandel, NYU
research environment: surroundings, community, stimuli, process, tools
![Page 66: “… what they will be”](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812bd4550346895d903bc2/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
thought exercise:viewed as “place”
superb book on shelf because well educated person should read it
and no one ever takes it off shelf
is it still a superb book?
![Page 67: “… what they will be”](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812bd4550346895d903bc2/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
thought exercise:viewed as “process”
superb book on shelf because well educated person should read it
how can library communicate with student so that she knows she needs what is on shelf?
![Page 68: “… what they will be”](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032313/56812bd4550346895d903bc2/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
