Summary

The SIG was held via Zoom on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. We did not have notes from this meeting, but there was an AI summary generated: 

The Reference SIG meeting on 10/21/2025 discussed methods for collecting reference statistics. Lara Sibley from Moffat Library initiated the discussion, emphasizing the need for efficient and detailed tracking. Participants shared their experiences, including using Google Forms, Excel sheets, and paper tick marks. A historian / genealogist highlighted the challenges of tracking detailed genealogical queries. A research librarian noted the difficulty of managing stats with limited staff. An academic librarian suggested starting with simple tick marks and gradually refining the system. The group agreed to meet again in January, with Maggie volunteering to facilitate the next session.
