Committee Charge

The VALE Reference Services Committee explores and recommends programs and services to the VALE Executive committee, which will enhance Reference Services to the New Jersey State Academic Libraries and our user communities.

To achieve this mission the Reference Committee has the following goals:

  1. The Reference Services Committee will review, evaluate and promote innovative ideas and effective measures in the field of reference services.
  2. The Reference Services Committee will evaluate the role of traditional reference services and the use of technology at the point of service; either in person to users, on-line to users or through other modes of providing Reference Services.
  3. The Reference Services Committee will collaborate with other VALE Committees to provide members with opportunities for continuing education and professional development.
