Working in the library means you answer a lot of procedural and directional questions. “Where do I file this?” “Who do I talk to about that?” “How do I do this?” And while these are some of our favorite questions because we can answer them quickly and with authority (and they don’t take us 3 ½ hours like some of the more complicated reference questions we get), we recognize that we’re not always reachable. For those eventualities, we’ve compiled a list of our most common questions with their answers below. Enjoy!
