The Library hosted two regional meetings and a workshop during October and early November.

The Tidewater Consortium Reference Librarians met at the Lab Library on Oct. 6. The program topic was Reference Service for Distance Education. Cynthia Swaine, Old Dominion University, discussed what ODU is doing and some of the issues and challenges involved in providing library services for distance education. Committee members talked about what is happening with distance education at their respective institutions. Nearly 20 librarians participated in the event.

The Tidewater Consortium Circulation Librarians met Oct. 21. Discussion focused on a number of library functional demands and requirements.

A Regional Southeast Library Network (SOLINET) training workshop was held here Nov. 2. The participants received continuing education training credits for courses covering management of metadata (information about information) in library operations. Lab Library staff hosted Cataloging Internet Resources, an essential knowledge access management course designed to prepare librarians for virtual/digital library development.

"It was wonderful hosting these events in the Lab’s new (one-year-old) Library facility. The instructor and participants expressed pleasure in the speedy network response time. We hope to do more of this in the future. These events were great opportunities to expose a number of school and university librarians to Jefferson Lab," said Lab Librarian Elois Morgan.
