But when it comes to the process of how reference services are conducted, chat reference has set itself apart from email-based or face-to-face reference. The difference exists in so many aspects that general reference competencies need to be reexamined to ensure quality performance in chat reference services. A two-stage study was conducted to determine essential chat reference competencies and effective training techniques to deliver them. Findings from this study and how they could benefit the professional preparation for chat reference librarians will be discussed in the presentation.

As you approach the fork, a bespectacled person wearing tweeds cautions "WRONG WAY! TURN BACK!" and waves you toward the e-portfolio. What should you do? Take the e-portfolio path of least resistance? Or ignore the danger signs, thumb your nose at the tweed-clad nabob of negativity, and take the road less traveled? This presentation demystifies the thesis option. It will examine some of the real and perceived obstacles to pursuing a thesis, outline the process, recommend strategies for plotting a successful trajectory, and suggest how you might use your thesis to boost your career.
