Re: Reference Hours



Our staffing is two full-time people.  Our open hours are
Monday - Friday, 8-12, 12:30-4:30.   During the fall and
spring semesters, we also add Monday and Tuesday
evenings 5-9.    We provide reference service all posted
hours.  We do offer special appointments but these are
accepted only if staff and workload can be accommodated.
Obviously our workload is like a roller-coaster, little done
if time is spent on reference and vice versa.     One of our
local libraries tried an approach that they were closed on
Thursdays--turned out staff were there, working but just not
open to the public.   I understand they discontinued that be-
cause too many people complained -- if staff are working,
they should be helping users too.
