Roving Reference Mythbusting
A reader, Joan Giannone, sent me this great resource: Roving Reference Mythbusting. She developed this list of eight tips for an audio conference for the Ontario Library Association, and was nice enough to share it with the rest of us. Giannone argues against such anti-roving arguments as "Roving really hampers our ability to get our work done." (That's an interesting argument to begin with, and she makes some good points in rebuttal...). Take a look if your library is doing or even considering roving reference!

Hello.
I am currently working on a great assignment for this Library Advocacy class I am taking, where we have to approach the library board or other decision makers about a change of policy or introduction of a service. It is a wonderful class, led by the ex-President of the Canadian Library Association
My group partner and I are introducing roving reference in our hypothetical library, and I can't seem to access this link you've posted anymore. Do you know if there is an archived version somewhere?

No, I can't find the resource any more. Even a site: search on the site iteself points to the same URL, which seems to now be protected behind a password.
