Desk Bound No More: Reference Services at a New Research University Library [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The authors discuss a newly established academic library at the University of California, Merced, as a model for reference service that foregoes a desk staffed with reference librarians. The library provides innovative, quality reference services for its users by using well-trained staff at a library services desk and employing new technologies for asynchronous communication and instruction.
