How Critical Is Reference?

Zeth, a member of my emerging leaders cohort, sent this to our listserv today:

How critical is reference to the survival of libraries? Should the
library profession do more to promote reference services? In less than a
minute you can tell us what you think about reference services.

Let us know what you think at: http://surveys.lrs.org/respond.php?sid=50

It doesn’t take long and is interesting.  Please do Zeth a favor and take the survey!
