Tyckoson, David A.
The 2002 Annual Conference of the American Library As
sociation was remarkable in that it included two major pro
grams about reference services: The RUSA-sponsored
program "The Future of Reference" and the RUSA Presi
dent's Program "The Reference Interview: Connecting In
Person and In Cyberspace." The two programs clearly
struck a chord in the profession, with literally hundreds of
reference librarians turning out to hear selected experts talk
about their futures. As the only speaker invited to partici
pate in both programs, I gained a unique perspective on
these issues.

In my previous column, I presented four memorable
reference encounters that I have had with users
over the past three decades. Those examples highlighted
the complexity of the interaction between the
librarian and the user and raised the question of the changing
nature of the definition of quality service. The lesson to
be learned from that column is that our interactions with our
users are complex and that the meaning of the work that we
do needs to be interpreted in the light of the user’s individual
perspective. In this column, I would like to focus more on the
common, everyday interactions that we have with our users
and how those interactions affect—and strengthen—our local
communities.

Tyckoson, David A.
There has been a resurgence of student activism at public universities throughout California. State budget reductions and rising student fees have resulted in students paying more and getting less. Students have occupied buildings, held marches, and been arrested at UCLA, Berkeley, and Santa Cruz. California State University at Fresno is not known as a radical campus, but even in this conservative region of the state students are taking action. This is the story of a successful student "study-in" at the Henry Madden Library on the campus of Fresno State.
