interactions with the same inquiry. People may ask: what they think a library worker can answer; what they’re comfortable sharing with a stranger; or, what they are able to communicate at that moment. In a successful reference interview, the library worker demonstrates a high degree of nonjudgmental interest to help the person explore the topic, refine the question, or express what they want to learn.
