It seems that the re-design of California's statewide reference service has
been going on forever. Over the last few months, we've surveyed California
public library end-users on their information needs and have taken a
critical look at the results. Working with a small group of librarians, we
have been designing potential scenarios for new approaches to statewide
reference. 

 

Speakers:  Stacey Aldrich and Rosario Garza.

 

Stacey Aldrich was recently appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as
the Deputy State Librarian of the California State Library. Before that she
had the great opportunity to be the Assistant Director of the Omaha Public
Library System. Before Omaha, she was the Deputy State Librarian at the
Maryland State Department of Education, where her primary responsibility was
to oversee the implementation of statewide projects. While in MD, Stacey
played an active role in developing programs, conferences, and discussions
to help public libraries generate ideas, conversations, and innovative
programming around future thinking.

 

Rosario Garza has been working in library cooperatives and networks since
1984. She was at the Bibliographical Center for Research (BCR) from 1984 to
October 2006 and held the position of Assistant Director for Member Services
for her last 4 years there. Prior to coming to BCR, Ms. Garza worked in
academic libraries including Auburn University and the University of Texas
at Arlington. In November 2006, she became Executive Director of the
Metropolitan Cooperative Library System (MCLS) in Pasadena.
