<p class="MsoNormal">Here are two enlightening articles about personal librarian
programs in Oregon. The first one describes an effort at Reed College to
connect first-year students to their own assigned librarian, to help their
academic career get off to a solid start. The author, Erin Conor, is the
Performing Arts Librarian at Reed College. Doesn't that sound like fun? <span><span class="gmail-7oe">:)</span></span><br>

Matthew Stefanik follows with an article about Multnomah County Library’s new
and interactive readers’ advisory service called "My Librarian."
Curious patrons select from a menu of 17 librarians based on a shared passion
for books, movies, or just intrigue, and receive personalized book
recommendations from them. To learn more about the success of this program, see:<br>
