      1. You have more traffic at your reference desk than I have on my 6 hours at a CC ref desk. I'm fortunate to interact in any way with more than two students. The students are there, they just don't come talk to me as much as in the winter. I'm ready for the fall semester to start so I can do more than tell people they need a print card to print.

        What does "GSS" stand for?

      2. GSS is the abbreviation I use for Governor's School Student. We are currently hosting a Governor's School at our university and the student's love the library. The reference desk would be terribly boring without them right now.

      3. APA format dictates a number of specific guidelines for in-text citations and references.
