Hi all, Re. below, for those who haven't seen this yet, I thought it might be of interest. Take care, Leo ------ Forwarded Message The Digital Reference Education Initiative (DREI) Advisory Board has drafted a set of core competencies for digital reference education and practice that is now posted on the DREI site. "Rubrics for Digital Reference Service Providers" is a working document, for which we welcome comments and suggestions from the virtual reference community. The rubrics have been developed to aid in the teaching of virtual reference to LIS students, as well as to act as a guide for the hiring, training, and assessment of practicing librarians and reference staff with digital reference responsibilities. Please take a look at the competencies at http://drei.syr.edu/pdf/DREICompetenciesDraft092004.pdf ------ End of Forwarded Message ________________________________________ Leo J.
