Reference Questions for the week of 7/4/2011

I've went to a week of format since the questions have become so few.

7/6/2011
  1. Looking for books by Carl Hiaasen
  2. Looking for the books Basket Case and Nature Girl by Carl Hiaasen
7/7/2011

  2. GSS wanted to know where she could print
  3. Wanted to know when applications had to be in for admission for the Fall semester; ASAP
  4. Wanted to know how to use the scanner to create a PDF of his transcript
  5. Public patron didn't have a printer installed on his computer
  6. Public patron didn't have a printer installed on his computer
  7. GSS wanted to know where to check out books
7/8/2011
  1. A grad student I've been helping over the summer with APA had a few more questions, so I spent a little while helping her out
  2. Wanted to know where his print out would go
  3. Same grad student from #1 had a few more questions about APA
Summertime is slow time here at the reference desk. Things pick up when the GS students come in which is always a welcome change.

        Hi! I was hoping that through CPD 23 I would find a blog for a librarian in my area of interest and in the USA. I'm happy I found you.

        I like your reference question post. In my 1 day per week at a community college reference desk, I've been getting only 1-2 questions since summer classes started.

        Great! So you're at a community college in SW VA? Summers are insanely slow, but I'm sure we'll be wishing for a break when the Fall semester begins! :)
