Overview of Session

The Public Services Committee's one-hour IACRL Pre-Conference session was divided into quick discussions on four major public services topics.

In preparation, committee members composed a list of questions that a library could use to assess each topic, some of which were used for discussion during the session. These questions are listed under each topic as Part 1.
