Gee, fer a dumb ole Skewity Guy, I did pretty well! (blow across smoking barrel before holstering gun - target shows bull's eye)
Contrary to many patrons' belief, I apparently DO know how to help them find what they need. Now if I could just get them past the window shock of seeing the uniform when I ask if I can help them. Our internet resources are wonderful things, and you don't have to be an expert on each topic in order to locate what's probably more information than most folk are looking for.
As for my create-a-question:
Our patron loves to draw and wants to know where to find images of their topic. Should they:
A) Ask Stanley
B) Google "image of {topic}"
C) Search our catalog for art on the topic
D) Search our catalog for children's books on the topic
E) Some combination of B,C and D, possibly F
F) Ask Security (could be in the lost & found perhaps?)
G) Use the Library website's Research and Learning Center to look up articles which may have images
H) Avoid Stanley, since he might be in a bad mood, and select any, some or all of the other options. You never know what you might find! (HINT: this is the BEST answer! !D)
