<p align="center" class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: center;"><span style='color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;'>For release in the <a href="http://www.igi-global.com/book-series/advances-library-information-science/73002" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 204); text-decoration: none;">Advances
in Library and Information Science (ALIS) Book Series</span></a></span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style='color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;'>The <b>ALIS Book Series</b> aims to expand the body of library science literature by covering a wide range of topics affecting the profession
and field at large. The series also seeks to provide readers with an essential resource for uncovering the latest research in library and information science management, development, and technologies.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style='color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;'>With budget cuts and doubts about the necessity of the roles librarians play, it may seem as if we haven't any time to explore new ways
to interact with our users. In fact, the opposite is true. Many librarians are taking their limitations and turning them into innovations. This surge in creativity needs to be shared across the profession so that other libraries and librarians can benefit.</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style='color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;'>Objective</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style='color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;'>This book will explore innovative methods for reaching and interacting with users, especially in terms of virtual
reference. The chapters in this book will focus on various types of virtual reference that libraries have adopted in recent years. It will also look at ways librarians are virtually interacting with their users and be written for librarians who want to learn
techniques that can be applied at their own libraries and enhance their own users' experiences.</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style='color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;'>Target Audience</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style='color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;'>The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of information
and knowledge management in various aspects of librarianship, e.g., reference, public services, instruction, and technology. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support to librarians who wish to develop these skills in their own careers.</span></p>
