On Tuesday, Jan. 22, I began the reference portion of my internship. Mike took us on an hour tour of the 2nd floor reference area. It was helpful that I had utilized several of the resources in reference for my reference class (LIBR 210) with Charlotte Ford. I sat at the King Reference Desk to observe what will soon be my job. Want to take a guess at the most popular question? ... No, not the bathroom location. Similar though. "Where can I make copies?" Basically, I directed 4 people to the copy center, which is down the hallway to the blue sign that says "Copy Center." Make a right at this sign, follow down the stacks until you see the copy machines on the right. There is also a machine to get and put money on a card for printing and a machine for getting coinage change. Very exciting. Well, school had started yet, so perhaps at my next seating, it will be more eventful. Finally, I observed a staff member at the reference phone. I discovered through this that King Library offers free 20 minute consulting with a lawyer. Very useful to the public. At this point, it is essential to point out that I will be serving both academic patrons and public. This increases the diversity of questions I will receive.
