Welcome! Wikis are websites that everyone can build together. It's easy!

This is an idea-sharing wiki for librarians who post to answer boards, like Answers.com's WikiAnswers (http:wiki.answers.com), Yahoo Answers or Amazon's Askville. We recognize that these sites can help promote the idea that librarians are active and dynamic participants in the web 2.0 community, and we're not just waiting for the questions to come in!

About the Conference:

A Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends

August 4-5, 2008, Denver, CO

Sponsored by BCR (Bibliographical Center for Research) and RUSA (Reference and User Services Association), an ALA Division

Rumors of the “death of reference” have been greatly exaggerated! Reference and information services now encompass not just traditional forms such as in-person point-of-service, telephone, and e-mail, but also Instant Messaging, Text Messaging (SMS), blogs, wikis, library pages on MySpace and Facebook, and virtual reference desks in Second Life.

A Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends conference will explore all aspects of reference service in a broad range of contexts, including libraries and information centers, in academic, public, school, corporate, and other special library environments. This two-day conference will incorporate the multitude of established, emerging, and merging types of reference service including both traditional and virtual reference. It presents an opportunity for all reference practitioners and scholars to explore the rapid growth and changing nature of reference, as an escalating array of information technologies blend with traditional reference service to create vibrant hybrids.

The upcoming "Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends" looks to be a great opportunity for idea-sharing on the future of reference services (maybe even board slamming?). Keep it in mind! They've also got a call for papers, ending April 4. Care to present?

I use Answers.com's WikiAnswers (http://wiki.answers.com) There are more than 100 supervisors moderating the site and consolidating the responses, and the site quality is a result of this supervisor involvement.
