• Reference Renaissance: Current and Future Trends edited by Marie L. Radford and R. David Lankes

FYI: "The rumors of the 'death of reference' have been greatly exaggerated. The theme of a 'Reference Renaissance,' was taken from the title of an editorial by Diane Zabel...This renaissance can be seen in the return to core values of service excellence in libraries and to the rising surge of innovative reference initiatives via virtual venues such as instant messaging, text messaging, and other emerging modes." - from the Introduction
