[Libs-Or] Statewide reference task force asks - What are Oregon's reference needs?

[Pierina Parise]

As part of the charge of the State Librarian's task force on collaborative reference, we want to answer the question:

What are the needs of Oregonians in regard to reference and information services?

And we welcome your input!  Please talk with your colleagues and patrons about that question.  In thinking about this issue, perhaps consider:

·        What are the unique reference needs of your community?

·        What are the items on your wish list of reference services to offer to your community?

·        What are possible missed opportunities for reference services in your community?

·        What do you want to make sure is not forgotten about your community in regards to the work of the task force?

·        What are your thoughts about the reference needs of non-library-users?

·        What would bring more people to the information services provided by the library?

·        What might you need in order to serve people who do not currently turn to the library for reference?

·        What is happening with reference services now?

·        What are the types of information needs that your library currently serves?

Please send your comments to me (pparise at emporia.edu) or to any other member of the task force by June 13th.
