In the words of the Librarian of Congress, “Reference is, of course, Tfacts. But it is also connecting people to what they need to People to What know, when they need to know it.” Her statement was not just about reference, but about the core purpose of what we do in our libraries—all types of libraries—every day. They Need to Listening to the conversation between past ALA Presi- dent Courtney Young and Dr. Hayden, I was inspired by the themes that cut across library types and connected with the Know mission of RUSQ. RUSQ is focused on the work that we do, rather than where we perform that work. Place and commu- nity are immensely important but our fundamental profes- sional value lies in how we connect with those communities. RUSQ’s columns, research articles, and reviews focus on our shared goals and work so that we can grow profession- ally through reading a broad range of perspectives, ideas, and research. This quarter’s issue exemplifies this model, presenting content from public and academic librarians on topics ranging from reading to reference to career changes. Dr. Hayden was prescient of this issue of RUSQ when M. Kathleen Kern she said, “You can learn a subject. Don’t close yourself off to opportunities. Think about how your experiences can be M.
