- Beyond Consultation: A New Model for Librarian's Office Hours Avery, Susan Hahn, Jim Zilic, Melissa College Students Research Papers (Students) Study Habits Educational Change Academic Libraries Librarians Models Adjustment (to Environment) Office Practice Working Hours Reference Services Library Instruction Undergraduate Students Information Needs Consultation Programs Search Strategies Time Management Given the many changes in our students and their study and research practices, libraries are finding it necessary to seek new ways to reach these students. The Undergraduate Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created a new model to do so. Librarian's Office Hours are a hybrid of reference and instructional services that fulfill the dual purposes of meeting the needs of term paper research counseling and library workshops. This article discusses the strategies involved in the creation and implementation of this service and examines suggestions for the future of such a service. (Contains 1 note.)
