Activity 2

Bosler memorial library's reference librarians assist patrons with directional, informational, and research questions. Librarians answer questions in person, online, via the telephone and via the u. S. Mail. Typical questions involve resumes and job searching, research paper assistance, health topics research, and continuing education pursuits. Librarians use a variety of resources to answer questions including the librarys collection, the internet, subscription databases, and internal files. Librarians also instruct patrons in the use of library resources including print, online databases, ebooks, computer software and computer hardware. They also produce a variety of instructional materials such as bibliographies, pathfinders, and "how-to" guides for the public. Reference librarians also promote library resources with displays and printed materials. When desired materials are not in the library's collection, the librarians provide interlibrary loan service to obtain items from other libraries. Reference staff serve as exam proctors to cyberschool and college students. They also help select and maintain materials for the library collections and compile lists of books, periodicals, articles and audiovisual materials on particular subjects.
