The decrease for the number of reference transactions can be contributed to several factors, which at
this time we can’t single out any one of these. We updated our library website, making it easier for users
to locate what they need. We handle more in-depth research sessions we track the amount of time
spent with the researcher and this has increased significantly, decreasing the number of actual reference
transactions. We updated our tracking for SIA (Summary of Instructional Activities) interactions more
comprehensively and can be inclusive with the reference transaction. We are transitioning to a new
access services model and it can be that staff are not tracking each of their interactions correctly as they
are learning the new model.
