Theory vs. Practice
Space is an issue and determines where things will be located
Reference Policies aren't always very clear, detailed, or applied evenly.
Popular Service Center Role (however, books get lost)

Lessons Learned
Know your library, policies, and your community Time is of the essence For a detailed question, try to see what level of
understanding they have on the topic. In difficult situations, be as calm & as pleasant
as possible. Develop good relationships with fellow
librarians and library support staff
