Those of you who were at the Reference Training meeting on 11/22/06 got a copy of this month's Reference Challenge question. At every reference training meeting, we'd like to hand out a real-life tricky question that we received from a patron, and give everyone a chance to try and answer it. This is a great opportunity to flex your reference muscles, and see how your colleagues approached a tough question. And, let's admit it people, stuff like this is ridiculously fun.
So, without further ado, here is this month's Reference Challenge:
A patron wants to cite this reference. Verify the citation, and determine if the item is held at the University of Minnesota.
Bielschowsky, A. "Die Innervation des musculi recti interni als Seitenwender," Ber Dtsch ophthalmol Ges 1903; 30: 164-71 (as cited in Van Vliet, A. G. M.: "Posttraumatic Ocular Imbalance." In Vinken, P. J. Bruyn, G. W., (eds) Handbook of Clinical Neurology. vol. 24, Amsterdam: North Holland, 1976; 75.)
Give your answer to Del, and keep track of your strategy so we can compare at the next meeting! Also, if you've worked on a question you'd like to nominate for the next Reference Challenge, let Del or Liz know. Have fun!
Liz
