I enjoy the scheduled one-on-one consultations.<br /><br />Claire, I am glad to hear from New Zealand. My family went to the south island in fall 2009. We are so sad about the earthquake deaths and damage in Christchurch. Our dream is to return when we can, see the north island and maybe go to a rugby game.<br /><br />I have been thinking that "public services librarian" might better stretch to the reality of our positions.ricklibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11621583568674705756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10898244.post-34035037624063434642011-03-07T15:23:29.547-08:002011-03-07T15:23:29.547-08:00Hello, Rick,

Recently I interviewed an “information services librarian”. This seems to describe the role better than “reference librarian”. My post doesn’t detail the job (I focus on the branch and community), but I know she initiated ‘book a librarian’, did non-fiction collection management, ran ‘book chat’ sessions, helped patrons with anything computery - a very wide-ranging role.<br /><br />I’m interested to discover your blog!Claire Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549609289169890919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10898244.post-16382945638501642262011-03-07T09:33:04.116-08:002011-03-07T09:33:04.116-08:00Cool to see you're doing the "book a libr...Cool to see you're doing the "book a librarian" service.
