This symposium is free and open to the public. BLC Workshop: "What do you mean? Providing reference services requires managing uncertainty, both for users and for library workers.
As information professionals, we are tasked with bridging the gap between our expertise in information science and users' knowledge of their discipline. Yet there can be a disconect between health sciences users' understanding of an inquiry and our own, misunderstandings protentially exacerbated by difficulties communicating in virtual environments. What role does context play in both the asking and understaning of reference questions? How do we identify the implicit assumptions in our interactions?
And how do we improve these consultations in virtual spaces? In this workshop, we will share experiences about user interactions in reference services, with a goal of discussing as a group how to best communicate with our users during academic reference interviews.
We will facilitate a conversation between participants and presenters to explore how our users approach academic libraries with similar questions, but for different reasons and at different times in their lives, and how this has changed when our reference consultations are entirely online. We will discuss how our constantly changing interaction with the world creates new knowledge and ways to bridge these gaps for library users -- and ourselves. Working in groups, we will explore through conversation how we make sense of the academic health sciences questions our patrons are asking and how to approach these gaps in virtual consultations.
We will discuss:. This one-hour interactive workshop is intended for all library staff members, particularly those working in academic health sciences and medical spaces, as well as library science students and anyone who works with academic health subjects and health-related questions. The presenters recognize that learning is an ongoing process and aim for this to be a sharing opportunity for workers at all experience levels.

Bobby catalogs all formats and attends many meetings. Despite the Americans with Disabilities Act and relevant state building codes, many library buildings fail to deal with a range of everyday disabilities among users and staff. Some libraries were constructed before the ADA was first passed in and have not been required to conform with the act.
A few more recent libraries have simply ignored aspects of the ADA. In addition, many everyday disabilities are not covered by legislation or building codes and are often ignored in building planning. This program will review accessibility options and some possible solutions. Although by far the best time to deal with accessibility issues is before design and construction begin, many things can be done later.
Presenter Fred Schlipf will review issues and problems in library building accessibility, with a variety of possible solutions. Attendees are also welcome to describe accessibility problems at their libraries and what they have done to deal with them, or simply to raise accessibility issues for discussion with the group attending.
