Guide to Reference Project Update

In December 2006 draft screens of the product interface were subjected to usability tests, which resulted in further refinement of the Guide to Reference product concept. Acceptance testing of the fully developed Guide interface will take place in June 2007.

By July 2007 our team of 60 editors, under the leadership of general editor Robert Kieft and his five-member editorial review board, will have contributed over 17,000 entries to Guide to Reference.

Guide to Reference will release for pilot access by a select group of library and LIS partners beginning in the Fall. Free evaluative trials will be available Winter 2007.

Guide to Reference will be exhibiting at the following conferences:

• ALA Midwinter Meeting
  Philadelphia, PA
  Jan. 11–16, 2008

• Computers in Libraries
  Arlington, VA
  April 7-9, 2008
