Library technology simply provides us information delivery mechanism. It expands new areas of service which reference librarians traditionally have not preformed. This new development is a welcome avenue for the librarians to perform whatever they do a little easier and better. It has been assumed that with advanced technology, libraries do not need as many professional librarians as they used to have. Many studies attest to the pitfalls of this concept. These studies have concentrated on coping with the technostress and burnout which reference librarians are encountering. Modern Library Technology and reference Services contains ten chapters. First chapter describes the study on web-based reference services in academic libraries. Chapter second has been described the results of a study which treats public library system as multi product enterprises providing lending services across a range of media and serving as an information center for its users. Third chapter focuses on some incipient embedded librarian programs, as well as the obstacles achieving embedded practice. The impact of information behavior in academic library services quality: a case study of the science and technology area has been discussed in fourth chapter. Fifth chapter ensures the modeling web-based library services quality. Sixth chapter reviews the different patrons and different missions, bringing two library cultures and functions together presented many challenges, but the library today is a vital, innovative space for learning. Seventh chapter focuses on the issue of VRS accessibility and also propose an active model to increase VRS usage. A case study on the appropriateness of using quick response (QR) codes in libraries and museums has been represented in chapter eighth. Ninth chapter elaborates the reference library services in the digital environment. The purpose of last chapter is to describe innovate approaches of concept analysis (CA) from nursing scholarship, and also describes the theoretical foundations and application of CA approaches from nursing scholarship and presents an abbreviated case of its application to usage, a concept of interest to the LIS community.

Here is a succinct update on school library reference services for the busy practitioner or student. Exploring the state and state-of-the-art of school library reference services in the 1990s, this book provides an overview of current information skills teaching models, the impact of new technologies on the teaching of reference and the student search process, and assessment and evaluation models for gauging the success of school reference services. School Library Reference Services in the 90s is an informative guide for school media coordinators and specialists, library science graduate students, and professors and researchers in the field to help them understand what students must learn and what teachers must teach to keep everyone up to date in the fast-changing world of reference. School Library Reference Services in the 90s is divided into three sections that cover reference/research teaching models, technology, and evaluation. Topics in the first section include an examination of the current state of affairs in reference teaching, a look at various models for integrating library research and reference skills into the curricula, and discussions of the effects of these new models on the school librarian's role. Section two addresses the profound effect new technologies, such as CD-ROM, multimedia, CD-I and CD-TV, are having on both the teaching of reference and information skills and on the entire research process from initiation to production of the final student report. The last section presents three models for assessing the effectiveness of school reference services and skills instruction. School library reference services, and particularly library instruction, are changing dramatically in the 1990s as a result of the information age. School Library Reference Services in the 90s helps professionals in the field stay abreast of current developments and be more effective in their jobs.

This important volume presents a wealth of practical ideas for improving the art of reference librarianship. Reference Service Expertise provides pragmatic ways for librarians to aid patrons, consider reference collections and how they are employed, and assess various technologies in reference work. Dedicated to the idea that reference service is a benevolent desire to help the sometimes puzzled library user, this unique book describes numerous and varied means to that end and encourages reference librarians to become familiar with the multiple resources available in modern libraries. Reference Service Expertise pinpoints specific areas in which librarians can increase their knowledge in order to become more efficient. These strategies include using a systems approach in reference instruction for library professionals; guidelines for academic librarians to use for evaluating facilities, services, and staff as to how effectively they welcome users and validate their information needs; using team teaching to instruct users about library services; developing legal reference skills to support the constitutional right-to-know in a self-governing society; and helping non-science librarians to become science literate by reading popular science literature, watching science television programs, visiting science museums, and generally increasing their awareness of the problem of science illiteracy among the general population. A wide variety of resources available in today's reference libraries are discussed to help librarians become better informed about the options available to their patrons, including: ERIC and NTIS and the information gap between the two databases resources on the evolving market economy or investments in the Commonwealth of Independent States fee-based services PsycLIT (CD-ROM), PsycINFO (online), and the difference in retrieval patterns using the same vocabulary of terms interactive media centers--advantages and shortcomings Reference librarians in all types of libraries will benefit from chapters that describe specific methods for improving their own personal effectiveness as well as chapters that evaluate specific services and reference tools available for reference library users.
