Title

Improving reference : preliminary thought on a return to the classroom

Source

Reference librarian. 1994, no.43, S.183-193

Year

1994

Abstract

While reference librarianship is an exciting profession, some librarians become disillusioned and acquire negative attitudes toward the profession, library education, the professional literature, and their clients. Reference practitioners should consider formal teaching of the of their discipline in order to better come to terms with their profession. The benefits of reexamining one's speciality in te broader perspective needed to teach it, as well as reviewing the professional literature in preparation for the classroom, will have positive benefits for the students in the classroom, the clients in the library and the individual reference practitioner/teacher
