RUSA Virtual Forum- Reference and User Services Re-Imagined
91´«Ã½
The Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) is excited to host its 2nd Annual Virtual Forum scheduled for March 28 & 30, 2023. Registration is open !
The Forum Theme is: Reference and User Services Re-Imagined Reference and User Services Librarians constantly reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant in today's libraries. They are at work every day and on the front line interacting with patrons. But they can feel undervalued in their libraries, with resources and attention given to emerging technologies and programs for which they, nevertheless, provide support and instruction. We will share what Reference and User Services Librarians are doing to make their services known and their voices heard. What are they doing that is new and different in re-imaging services for the next generation of library users? #RUSAForum23
