Virtual Reference Librarian

Today I met with my group to do our virtual reference role playing. We were given three questions from Dr. Rob that we had to ask our reference person (our partner) how to find the answers for them. I went first as the reference librarian and Tina asked me her questions. It was really difficult, but I learned some new things. My first instinct was to ask them and tell them to google. After we did our interview, I found out that's what most reference librarians do no adays. That is their quickest ready reference material. Most of our questions dealt with finding things in the information garden in the AET zone. I am not very familiar with the gardens. The one I use the most is the English gardens and the library section. I am good at finding information, but I don't like to search and search and search. Anyways, I sortive feel like referencing is not my area. We'll see...I did learn that if you click on a mushroom then you can email a librarian you question!! We had a tour of the Information Gardens, but I couldn't remember everything. I guess I should have taken better notes! And another thing...my computer is soo slow trying to maneuver through the zone. I kept getting lost! Okay enough whining!
