[Coil-l] Thanks for the heads-up, Tamie

[Sarah Whittle]

Dear Megan & fellow COILers,

A COIL book discussion is a great idea! Meetings have already been
scheduled for January (reminders to come!) and February, and a tentative
plan for March, so if we were to discuss it together, we could look to
April. And/or, we could also consider this to be one of the breakout
sessions with discussion at our summer unCOILed meeting. I'm curious to
hear feedback from you all!

Thanks,
Sarah

> *Abstract:*
>
> The rapid development of the Web and Web-based technologies has led to an
> ongoing redefinition of reference services in academic libraries. A growing
> diversity of users and the need and possibility for collaboration in
> delivering reference services bring additional pressures for change. At the
> same time, there are growing demands for libraries to show accountability
> and service value. All of these trends have impacted the field and will
> continue to shape reference and research services. And they have led to a
> need for increasingly specialized professional competencies and a
> literature to support them. In order to reimagine reference service for
> twenty-first century learning environments, practitioners will need to
> understand several focal areas of emerging reference. In particular,
> collaboration with campus partners, diverse student populations,
> technological innovations, the need for assessment, and new professional
> competencies, present new challenges and opportunities for creating a
> twenty-first century learning environment. Librarians must not only
> understand, but also embrace these emerging reference practices. This
> edited volume, containing five sections and fourteen chapters, reviews the
> current state of reference services in academic libraries with an emphasis
> on innovative developments and future trends. The main theme that runs
> through the book is the urgent need for inventive, imaginative, and
> responsive reference and research services. Through literature reviews and
> case studies, this book provides professionals with a convenient
> compilation of timely issues and models at comparable institutions. As
> academic libraries shift from functioning primarily as collections
> repositories to serving as key players in discovery and knowledge creation,
> value-added services, such as reference, are even more central to
> libraries' and universities' changing missions.--Publisher website.
