Today was mostly spent working on the Libguides or working reference. The Libguides is slow going. Double checking Websites takes time. The reference desk is getting better. Tonight was a slow night for physical patrons. The virtual reference desk was busier. I answered a call that looked like it was going to be fairly easy. Helping them find some research on a subject. Until they specified the subject. Scholarly websites on the history of line dancing.
I think I spent nearly an hour trying to help them. Hitting up any place I could think of that might have reason to document the history of dance in general. Then I remembered how great the King Library is, with its subject guides. They at least had a link for a directory (one that I have been encountering on my work on the Libguides and evaluation of the Website) that had a lot of links. That seemed to answer the student's question for help. But I still tagged as needing follow up by the school library, just in case.
