Oregon Reference Summit Presents 2025

The Oregon Reference Summit invites you to join us January 21 from 12-1pm
for an informative and useful presentation by our colleagues at Tacoma
Public Library.

Reference By All

No matter what your role is in the library, everyone can participate in
reference. To provide good customer care, each staff person must be
prepared and comfortable with helping patrons meet their needs. This
presentation is designed to equip staff with the tools they need to support
a reference interaction at the desk.  Participants can expect to learn and
share about databases, websites, and lived experience. Participants will
also learn about and debunk the common myths around reference support in
the library.

This training will make space for everyone to both share about their
experiences working with patrons and to ask any questions about how to
engage in the reference interview. We will workshop with each other and
play games to talk about strategies and tips for making the reference
interaction a positive one for everyone involved. People of all experiences
are welcome to attend this training to learn from and share with each other.

Presenters bios

Hi I’m Perlita Payne, I’m a Librarian II at Tacoma Public Library (TPL).
Prior to working at TPL, I worked at Berkeley Public Library and Alameda
County Library in California. I love cat videos and taking pictures of my
food, plants, and trees nearby. I also enjoy walking around Tacoma and
trying to catch a look at the Mountain.

Hi! My name is Jamie Gilmore, and I am Librarian II for the Maker Lab in
the Main Branch of Tacoma Public Library. In my spare time I love to read,
play video games, crochet amigurumi projects (which I always give away),
and occasionally go ice skating and roller blading.
