I'm investigating the pros and cons of roving reference and am requesting information from those who use this model. <br><br>If you rove, I wonder what you like and don't like about it? What are you hoping to achieve? And what works? And what doesn't? What could be done differently? Any good stories to share?<br><br>And does your library have a written policy or standards or procedures that you could share? Or even a casual email announcing the service?<br><br>I'm searching for both the official library stance and the personal opinions of librarians who rove. And if you prefer to remain strictly anonymous, that's fine too. <br><br>This information will be compiled in a report to be used as a internal planning document for our library.<br><br>Thank you very much!<br><br>Sue<br><br><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"></span><div><span></span>Sue Adams, Reference Librarian<br>sadams@orcity.org<br>Oregon City Public Library<br>606 John Adams St.<br>Oregon City, Oregon 97045<br>503-657-8269 ext. 1017 Direct phone<br>503-657-3702 fax<br>Website: <a href="http://www.orcity.org/library" target="_blank">www.orcity.org/library</a><br>Follow us on: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oregoncitylibrary" target="_blank">Facebook!</a><br>Subscribe to our <a href="http://orcity.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=271f21539981149d9f0576ba6&id=38181f8585" target="_blank">email newsletter</a>!<br><i>PUBLIC RECORDS LAW DISCLOSURE: This e-mail is subject to the State Retention Schedule and may be made available to the public.</i><br><br> <span></span><br></div></div></body></html>
