Join us at the ALA Annual Conference as the Reference and User Services
Association's Machine Assisted Reference Section (MARS)presents The MARS
Chair's Program
"Celebrating a Decade of Web-based Reference Collections: Where Do We Go
from Here?"
This program will examine the past, present, and future of web-based
reference services/collections, such as the Internet Public Library,
Librarians' Index to the Internet, and others. The session will also
explore the impact these services have had on reference services and how
they are used by reference librarians. With the growth of virtual
reference and increased use of web-based information sources, these
collections are vital to reference librarians as current awareness sources,
as working collections, and as collection development tools.
