I am at once very happy that I took that course, and in turn very sad that the reference interview received practically NO coverage during my two years in grad school. I assume that reference librarians know about the reference interview, and use it, despite the amount of reference transcripts I get to read as part of my job. Obviously we're not using it as much as we should, and I'm afraid that new librarians are entering the workforce knowing nothing about it. Anyway, good post, and I appreciate your insights.

Obviously we’re not using it as much as we should, and I’m afraid that new librarians are entering the workforce knowing nothing about it.

Anyway, good post, and I appreciate your insights.
