[STARKSMITH Gesse * SLO]

Hi All,

The Oregon Reference Summit invites you to join us November 14th from 2-3pm for an informative and useful presentation by our colleagues at Portland State University Library.

Reference Services and Misinformation in a Crisis: The Case of Library Occupation
Recently the University Library at Portland State University faced an unexpected upheaval: the occupation of the library by protestors, leading to a months-long closure of the building for extensive repair. Library staff opened up a pop-up library to offer services during this time, dealt with new kinds of reference questions, and worked to combat misinformation. In this session, the managers of reference services and access services will share the lessons learned from this kind of crisis, as well as suggestions for all librarians on ways to prepare for and manage the unexpected.

Presenters
Joan Petit is the Manager of References Services and Library Technologies at Portland State University. She holds an MSLS from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Rose Bosely is the Manager of Access Services at Portland State University. She holds an MLIS from Emporia State University.
