Welcome to Reference and User Services Quarterly, Volume 52, issue 3!
Dear RUSA Members and RUSQ Subscribers,
My goal for the journal is for it to be a useful tool for librarians interested in the intersection of theory and practice of reference librarianship in all its forms and in all types of libraries. This issue features columns everything from mobile technology and organic farming to library labs and information literacy assessment. Feature articles discuss reference competencies, consumer health, finding public policy papers, and gender and reading. I think that this issue of RUSQ reflects the breadth of interests and challenges that face RUSA members, and I hope that all readers will find something valuable here.
As always, I am interested in hearing back from readers, so please contact me with your thoughts on ways to make RUSQ even more valuable.Barry Trott
