    Abstract
    Discusses the art of the reference interview, suggesting that although it may be possible that the ability to conduct a good reference interview can only be learned through experience, there are some useful pointers that can help librarians hone their skills and identify possible problem areas: these are discussed. Points out that time invested in the primary reference interview is time that does not have to be spent later on when it turns out the client really wanted something different

    Abstract
    Reviews Gale's Ready Reference Shelf CD-ROM which enables library patrons to find their own information. Although this CD is marketed to libraries for patrons to do their own referencing, it is more appropriately used by librarians since it is an index to information sources, not the sources themselves. The CD gives Access to the following resources: Encyclopedia of Associations; Publishers Directory; Gale Directory of Publications and Broadcast Media; Directories in Print; Newsletters in Print; Gale Directory of Databases; Directory of Special Libraries; Research Centres Directory; and the Encyclopedia of American Religions. The software allows a number of sources to be searches simultaneously. Discusses quick searches; extended searches; the command line expert search; and compares the product with Microsoft's Bookshelf which contains a dictionary, almanac, thesaurus, basic encyclopedia and related material
