Reference Education and the New Technology

Abstract

This paper discusses some current concerns about education for reference services in this time of rapid technological change. Emphasis is placed on issues raised by the development of optical disc technology, particularly in the areas of ethics, end-user searching, library use ~nstruction,a nd user behavior. The results of a survey of reference faculty at ALA-accredited schools are presented to set the backdrop and to provide information on the ways that schools are adapting to and integrating the new technologies into the core reference curriculum.
