Conference 2020 ALIGN
Interest Group Showcase
On 5 June 2020, ALIGN
presented a panel on
"Reference Services in
an Age of Metamorphosis"
for its Interest Group
Showcase at the CARL
2020 Virtual Conference.
The panel session
featured speakers from
three different
university libraries,
who shared the different
ways they have been
studying the research
experiences and service
preferences of their
users in order to
reconfigure or enhance
their reference services
to better serve the
changing needs of their
students and
researchers.
Rebecca Metzger and
Kristen LaBonte of UC
Santa Barbara described
how their library
recently merged its
reference and
circulation service
desks, and they shared
the goals, process, and
challenges involved in
implementing this major
change and how they
expect their service
model for reference to
evolve over time.
Megan Graewingholt of
CSU Fullerton discussed
her library's recent
project to use iPads to
survey user feedback at
the walk-in reference
desk, in order to
determine if current
library practices were
meeting the needs of
students, faculty, and
community patrons.
And Dr Philip Longo,
Writing Program lecturer
at UC Santa Cruz,
described the results of
a major assessment of
information-literacy
learning outcomes from a
study of 2,000 students
in a general education
research-based writing
course at his
university. Results from
the study tell which
library services and
resources students use
and when, and how they
might benefit from
better integration of
these resources and
services into their
courses.
A lively
question-and-answer
session followed our
speakers' presentations
and could easily have
exceeded the time
allotted for our
program.

recording of the
entire session.
