When I went to sign it out, the librarian said it was a reference book and I could only read it in the library. But its so big, I just want to take it out. Is there anyway I can ?

When a library makes a book reference, they always want to have the book available for people to use, so it doesn’t check out. There are some exceptions, especially in college libraries where some reference material may check out overnight.
If you really want to read this book, ask the librarian if there is a copy that does check out, or if she could place an interlibrary loan for a copy you can check out.
You might also ask the librarian if you might buy an older copy at a library book sale or a Friends of the Library store. Our library friends group is having a HUGE sale next weekend, and many copies of last year’s reference books will be on sale for $1.00

You can use the babylon for this purpose. It’s the best translator in my opinion:

The second thing to try is rightclicking the install file, run as administrator.

Microsoft no longer supports Encarta. Your version is largely obsolete and will just get worse. Use the WWW for your research needs.

Do you want to be able to e-mail someone and get fairly-instant responses about information-related questions? Do you want computer classes? When you’re using public terminal computers, do you want someone who can help you with basic computer questions? Do you want your tax dollars to pay for a reference librarian at all? Is there anything else you’d like to see?

I think reference librarians will always be essential to a library. You’ll always have people who need help figuring out the library whether they’re technology-based questions or more traditional questions. A lot of people may feel overwhelmed and uncertain about things and need basic questions answered but feel stupid having to ask for help. Like they should be able to walk into any library and know where everything is. The most important thing is a willingness to help and general friendliness. They should be approachable. The thing that turns me off most in libraries is when I need help but all the librarians look too busy, too unconcerned, too unwilling to stop what they’re doing and answer a quick question or two.

I think that there is a definite need for reference librarians to be technologically literate and present. Online reference helps can be extremely helpful. And its an important part of the job, in my opinion. But I wouldn’t say that that is there only job. I think as long as there are actual libraries there will be a need for reference librarians.

People may think oh the internet eliminates the need for reference librarians and/or reference books. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Librarians are there to remind people to use common sense when using the internet. They can help patrons sort through the chaos and filter out the massive amounts of junk. It’s important to know where to search and how to search. How to think out the process. The librarian is there to help with that.

I am very interested in becoming a reference librarian, and planning on master’s school next year. I’m in the midst of writing my statement of purpose, and trying to really pin down why I’m going and what I want to do after library school. I’m also eager to use my web-saavy skills to improve library services, but also really want to be a reference librarian. Are these two mutually exclusive? Or is it part of the job description nowadays?

Part of the job description for sure. You’ll find a lot of libraries have blogs, facebook pages, myspace pages, sometimes even chat rooms for asking questions and various other web 2.0 stuff. It’s becoming a very big part of libraries and librarians are having to keep up with new technologies in order to make their services relevant.

I have no work experiences, only volunteering experience at a library for 4 months. No references. What are my chances of getting this job? There are three page jobs available. I know a lot of people don’t know about these jobs, but what are my possibilities of getting it?

It is actually a good first job. My brother did it when he was in high school. The problem is, there are a lot of people out of work, and there is probably a lot of competition. If you get an interview, be really enthusiastic and be sure to let them know you really want the job and that you will work hard. And don’t be afraid to call them and ask for an interview. Good luck!

thats pretty interesting. thanks for answering my questions.

well, I answer what I can, do some research and go off on all kinds of tangents trying to find the answers. I enjoy challenges, and I worked in a public library as a clerk for 10 years. But no you don’t have to be a professional to answer. BTW, the web-site listed below is like an online reference section for a library–in fact it is being developed by librarians. It is often one of the first places I go for information.
