Would you enjoy working on a state library reference desk?
Check out the Nebraska Library Commission Reference Staff activity on Twitter, http://twitter.com/NLC_Reference, to get an idea of the kind of questions that librarians at a state library answer every day. Twitter is a micro-blogging application that answers the question “what are you doing now?” Library Commission reference desk staff are using Twitter to post questions that are asked of the reference staff. This shows readers the depth and breadth of questions that the library answers every day. Answers are not posted (Twitter only allows for 140 characters per post).
If you’ve ever wondered if you would be interested in working on a reference team, this is a fun way to find out. Please click on comment (below) if this site is helpful in career decision-making.

Very cool! What a great way to publicize the great variety of questions y’all get. We’re going to have to look into doing something similar. I think you should use it for more than career recruitment. Show the public in general that you handle all sorts of requests — their tax dollars being put to good use.
