Our next reference desk should be a dark room with a closed door - http://pegasuslibrarian.com/2011...
I'm also guessing that this says something about the success of Carleton library's liaison program which markets the individual librarians very effectively. - Steele Lawman
Interesting idea, Iris! - Laura H.
Heh, don't try this at home. :-) - lris
So what you're saying is, Bob is actually being MORE effective when he sits in his office than when he sits at the desk? ;-) - Catherine Pellegrino
Probably need a bigger desk and a sign that clearly says "Reference" just like the libraries back home. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

In all seriousness, though, this same phenomenon happens at our library. maybe not when the desk is staffed, but definitely when it's unstaffed. - Catherine Pellegrino
