Abstract

Librarians at McGill University are trying to change a culture so that front-line colleagues can receive friendly help and timely guidance from behind-the-scenes librarians and staff. Learn when geekspeak is appropriate and when it’s not, so we can communicate effectively with people of all levels of knowledge and experience.
