Whither Reference?
02/10/2012 § 17 Comments
A few days ago, I stopped by the class of the freshly-minted new cohort of my program to say hello to them on behalf of a professional organization I work with, and to invite them to join and/or attend an upcoming event. It took all of ten minutes, no big deal. I got there a little early, and took the opportunity to spend a few minutes eavesdropping on a new variant of a class I was in this time last year. It's a standard sort of foundational course about understanding patron groups and their needs, information seeking behavior, that kind of thing. And it's always interesting to see how a different teacher would teach the same class. But this was more than a difference of teaching style — this seemed to be a totally different course.
A few minutes before I was due to talk to the cohort, the program director/academic advisor stepped out into the hall to chat. I mentioned to her that this cohort was doing entirely different work than we had done in the same course just a year before. She told me with some exasperation that our parent school had completely axed the standalone reference course from the curriculum, and now the only reference instruction any future students would receive would be this component of a larger course. Their rationale for the decision, she said, was that "reference is dead."
Reference has, admittedly, changed a lot in recent years… but dead? Really? The course had traditionally been taught by a rather beloved local academic reference librarian who admitted that much of the time, he had more people waiting for help at the reference desk than one librarian could handle. At the medical/academic library where I work, our reference librarians stay pretty busy. And our local public library has a virtual reference service that operates 24/7. That virtual service, in fact, has been the first professional step into reference for many of my program's graduates, the first time they get to practice and gain the experience necessary to be a good reference librarian. The catch is, in order to volunteer for this service, you have to have taken a course in reference at an ALA-accredited library school… and now our library school no longer offered such a course.
Is a unit on reference in a broader course — perhaps all of 2-3 weeks of instruction in total — really enough to prepare a library student to provide reference services to patrons? My program director shook her head. "Everybody tells me to just not worry about it… but I have to worry about it. This is my community." This school has produced by far the majority of librarians in my city, so what does a sudden absence of reference instruction mean for reference services locally over the long term? Perhaps young librarians will be able to teach themselves through experimentation and trial-and-error, but is that really a sound foundation? Will our public library's virtual reference service have to lower its standards to include these students as volunteers? Will it have to provide the training that our school no longer does? Or will it have to outsource more of its reference services to make up the shortfall? And what will happen to the students who don't get that vital early experience before they go looking for their first professional positions?
Of course, any class on reference will inevitably have to change with the times. There's no question that reference is a very different animal than it was 20 years ago. The patrons have changed, the ways in which we interact with them have changed, the resources we show them have changed, and the sorts of questions they ask have also, I have no doubt, changed. But reference is still, in a way, the very soul of librarianship: it's helping patrons find the information they want, and hopefully teaching them a little about how to be effective searchers and users of information along the way. The reference desk (or its virtual equivalent) is still the place where patrons and librarians come together to work. It's no longer the hub of the library that it once was… but is that the same as being "dead?"
I'd love to hear from other library students on this. How does your program handle reference instruction? What was your reference class like? How do you see reference fitting into the library of the future? Or does it? Are classes in reference unnecessary now? If you've taken one, how do you use what you learned in it in your work? Leave a comment!
§ 17 Responses to Whither Reference?
Pretty much everything in my program is hybrid class, and reference was no exception. It was heavy on readings, with every reading classified as either being about reference sources or services. Everything was discussion based. When we did not meet we relied heavily on Blackboard discussion, and when we did meet in person, it was basically in seminar format: long discussions about the readings facilitated by the instructor, with usually no lecture. We went over useful resources, but it was acknowledged up front that what resources are available varies so it's worth getting familiar with them but not fixating on them. We did a little reference interview practice. Probably not as much as I'd like, but then again since actually working a reference desk I've realized that library student approximations of patrons aren't usually very similar to the real thing.
[...] liked this post from Hack Library School, written by Amy Frasier: "Whither Reference?" Amy notes with alarm that reference isn't being taught as a standalone class at her [...]
My reaction was similar to yours – Reference's dead? There's so many examples I could draw upon but they all blur together, it seems I come across articles, books, comments, several times a week that concludes that "reference" (known by many other names these days, just like "librarian" or "library") is not only relevant but more important than ever. Yes, people can use Google to find information, but is it the right information for what they actually need? Or do they actually need something different and not know it. A reference interview teases important nuance that out, whereas leaving people to their own devices (no pun intended) doesn't always work out. Especially given the fact people who use search engines like Google, that create a "filter bubble" of results based on the user's search history, excludes results that maybe valuable and authoritative but their algorithym can't differenitate as well as a human brain.
I'm in what you would probably recognize as a "traditional" reference class right now (though word is this particular class won't exist next year and will be swallowed into a larger whole). And while I'm enjoying the class because I love answering questions and understanding user behaviors, I'm not all that surprised that it's fading from favor as a separate class. How much theory about reference interviews is necessary for the non-research minded LIS student? How many different EBSCO databases can you look at critically?
It seems like a more realistic goal to integrate reference into every LIS class than to expect it to stand on its own. The width and breadth of resources available are too vast to cover in 16 weeks, and it seems like reference theory will always end up being trumped by reference experience. By combining reference concepts with all of our other classes, I could see students developing a greater understanding of the underlying concepts because they will see direct applications right away.
I don't think reference will ever really go away, because no computer can provide the same level of service. But I'm just not sure it still needs its own class.
Agreed – incorporating reference with other topics seems to be favoring theory over practice, which was the model of the majority of my classes in library school. Learning specific resources is next to useless because of how quickly things change. The reference interview, while a very important tool, is no so complex that it requires multiple weeks of study.
Learning the theory behind providing good reference while in library school will be strengthened by actual experience outside of it, and I see no reason why basic theory can't be taught intermingled with other classes. Those who want deeper understanding should be able to take reference-related electives.
I'm really disappointed that they cut the reference class. It was instrumental in my being able to start my internship and helped me when I gained my first position. Yes, they did do additional training, but I learned so much from that course that it felt like a review for me. Any position you end up in will have you trained on the resources that system contains (or at the very least give you a brief overview), but being able to understand the basics before starting will give you an advantage not just when you get the position, but when you interview for it. Furthermore, that reference course was more than just the reference interview or learning about resources. We also had to build our own mini reference collections and learn how to evaluate said resources, rather than just use them. It took on a management perspective that I think would be missing from a hybrid course.
Unfortunately my reference class was a waste of a semester and money. Our professor lectured to us for all of our 3-hour class and I have forgotten most of what he told us. Luckily I still have the textbook…
I'm afraid that I personally did not gain very much from my Reference class. It was three hours of lecturing on sources I have already forgotten about, and over the course of my career those reference materials will quickly become outdated. If I could teach the course I would focus on teaching students to develop resourcefulness and search strategies that would serve them regardless of what the actual materials are.
I agree with the point that The Librarienne made, reference studies and instructors need to evolve and move beyond traditional practices. Whether libraries are integrating social media and web 2.0 applications into reference services, or using reference services for a larger platform to teach information literacy skills, it illustrates that reference is not dead, just different.
Hi Amy, From the first two paragraphs of your blog entry, it appears that your example is referring to the class I taught this weekend. While the rest of your entry may or may not carry this example forward, I would like to offer the following clarification. In paragraph 4 you suggest that 2-3 weeks spent on reference is not enough, please do note that my class will spend approximately 11 out of a total of 16 weeks on traditional reference, the balance covering materials concerning information seeking behavior and sense making. Further, that while our school is currently updating our reference offerings, we are planning on offering 1 if not 2 additional advanced "reference" courses.
In regards to the larger issue of reference, I personally believe and discuss to some length with my students the idea that while the fundamental vocation/techniques of reference are changing, the values, behaviors, and theories that anchor this professional activity remain the same.
I love this piece–thank you Amy, for your candor. As a career librarian, PhD student and part-time library school instructor, I have given this a lot of thought too.
I agree with Dr. Tuai's approach; graduate-level classes must be about more than the technical/how-to bit of librarianship, in a reference class or otherwise. In my upcoming community needs analysis class, we do not spend the whole time working on how to get at census and other sorts of demographic data; those tools will keep changing. We'll cover theory, and normative beliefs and values and how they affect our world view. We'll read texts and watch film clips that, at first glance, have nothing to do with librarianship. It's the bigger societal picture and the lives of community members (and our place in their lives) that must be understood (the why of community analysis). Of course, my objective is also for my students to finish the class feeling confident that they can design and execute a community analysis project. In addition to this, however, I want them to have a true understanding of why it must be a continual effort–the part, as Dr. Tuai says, that remains "the same."
All this said, I do suspect that if someone wishes to become a reference librarian, as I intended to do some time ago, a class (or two)–so long as it approaches understanding and meeting information needs from the perspective of the consumer– would benefit aspiring professionals. A class on serving the typical middle-class library user may just leave you scratching your head (as it did for me when I went to work in south Chicago out of library school).
[...] saw a reference to this post from Hack Library School on mod librarian. It pissed me off. I don't have time to write [...]
Reference is extremely important. But reference has changed, perhaps more than the reference classes taught in library schools.
Here's an incident from the one required reference course I took in SLIS. Take from it whatever lesson you find:
Each student was asked to bring to class a question that we thought would be typical of what would be asked of a reference librarian. Everyone traded questions with the student in an adjacent seat. We had 20 minutes to find the answer to our question. Most of the students dashed upstairs to the university library. Another student and I stayed in the classroom to use the library's databases. I struggled for more than 10 minutes trying to find sources that clearly would answer the question I was given. Finally, with only five or so minutes to go, I turned to Google and Google Scholar. I found a dozen promising sources within 60 seconds and had in hand a good general answer to the reference question and five excellent sources of more information before the 20 minutes was up. My classmate who also remained in the room had a similar experience, succeeding only after using Google.
Some 25 minutes after the exercise had started — five minutes or more minutes after the deadline — the instructor had to go upstairs to fetch the students who had searched in the stacks. When we each reported the results of our search, half or more of the students who had looked in the stacks said they either failed or only partially succeeded in finding what they were looking for. And none of them found their information in the 20 minutes allowed.
Reference is the bread and butter of most academic and public jobs. Do you want a job? Then go to a proper school that has a reference class or two. Library school classes are mostly taught by Phds who are divorced and unacquainted with real librarianship.
With their "innovations" and "proclamations" libraries would've already become Borders-like information centers. Remember Borders? They went bankrupt.
When I interview applicants I care about only 2 classes: Reference and Information Literacy.

How do you make a great cup of coffee at home?
First, start with great coffee. For us at Sweet Maria's, that means selecting good quality specialty coffee and roasting your own coffee at home. We have a huge selection of green coffees for roasting at home. For those of you who do not roast at home - we do a small amount of roasting - those offerings are described on our Roasted Coffee page.
Next, choose the type of brewing that suits you. No brewing method is "best" - it is largely a matter of personal preference. Some brewing methods are more suited to one type of coffee than another, for example, vacuum brewing tends to emphasize the delicate flavors in a cup, whereas espresso brewing makes a potent concentrate. Some methods are simpler, some more complicated (the process takes longer, requires a special mill, etc).
Check out our selection of brewers below.
With all types of brewing, you need to use good-tasting, fresh water and clean equipment. Water must be heated to between 195 and 205 degrees Farenheit. The proper grind is also essential for maximum flavor extraction. And of course don't forget to clean your equipment! We have more tips on the Brewing Fundmentals page. And you can read user comments about all types of brewing on the Sweet Maria's Forum.

Growth up as youth unemployment drops
Thursday, 20 June 2013
The latest economic data shows welcome signs that Hampshire's economy is picking up and youth unemployment is dropping.
After registering the highest level of business activity in this part of the South East at the end of last year, business activity in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight has continued to expand this year. The latest data shows that in May growth in the region expanded for the fifth consecutive month and is increasing at its fastest pace for over a year. The volume of new business in the South East is increasing more rapidly than at any time since January 2012.
The number of young unemployed people (16-24 year olds) in Hampshire fell by 7.5% between April and May, which meant that the overall youth unemployment rate dropped from 3.2% to 2.9%.
Councillor Roy Perry, Executive Member for Policy and Resources and Leader of Hampshire County Council welcomed the positive direction the local economy is taking:
"The latest figures show the economy for Hampshire and the South East is growing, and at a good pace, which is excellent news for the county. The County Council and its partners have been working hard to build on Hampshire's economic strengths, bring investment into the county, encourage new business and drive regeneration. With our economy gaining momentum in the second quarter, and the private sector creating more jobs, it is likely that the job market will continue its positive trend at least over the short-term, which is great news, especially for younger workers. At Hampshire County Council we are helping young people get that first step on the employment ladder by expanding our apprenticeship scheme to employ up to 1,000 new apprentices over the next five years.
"To maintain this momentum and continue future sustainable growth, it is critical that Hampshire's businesses and entrepreneurs have access to the infrastructure and skills they need. 'Invest in Hampshire' is one of our initiatives which positions the county as a leading investment location and provides all the support that new businesses need to relocate to Hampshire and create local jobs. The proportion of businesses making capital investment in this part of the South East has remained broadly stable and marginally above the national average.
"At the same time we are forging stronger relationships with existing private sector companies and supporting key employers in Hampshire. Activities include assisting key companies in attracting new funding and providing economic intelligence to assist with their propositions to win new business and to support their expansion plans. We are making further resources available to develop our foremost growth sectors, including Aerospace, Business and Professional Services, and Marine.
"Regeneration is another vital element to our strategy and the recent investment plans for the Solent Enterprise Zone at Daedalus are a good example of how local partners can collaborate to deliver new jobs and we are pleased to be investing £3million towards construction of the new training Centre of Excellence for Engineering, Manufacturing and Advanced Skills Technology. We also regularly collaborate with the Hampshire Business Alliance and other local authority partners to support the county's start-up businesses and SMEs. Recent successful projects include the launch of the new Hampshire Business Directory and activities such as 'Meet the Buyer' events which develop local supply chains.
"We take full advantage of Hampshire's beautiful scenery, historic destinations and vibrant commercial centres. Tourism is worth almost £2.7bn to the Hampshire economy, employs 60,000 people and is predicted to increase by 3.5% year-on-year over the next decade. Our Visit Hampshire brand encourages both national and international tourists to visit the county. On the other hand directors and production companies have long used Hampshire's unique mix of scenic settings for their films. The Council's Film Hampshire provides location scouting for film crews and not only brings in substantial revenue - estimated to be almost £3 million in 2012 and £3.6 million in 2013 - but also acts as an additional draw for tourists who want to visit places they have seen in films."

Smartphone kill switches are coming
Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft. But who would have thought that the big carriers would team up with Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung and lots of other manufacturers to voluntarily begin adding the technology by July 2015? The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!Continued ...

My son loves crocs but we got him a size one, description, "Roomy fit" . Well, I don't know who "roomy" is meant for, but these shoes look like they were made for baby elephant feet! They were about as wide as they were long! They looked liked distorted giant wiffle balls! Anyways, just FYI to make sure you pay attention to width size.

My son loves these!
These do definitely run wide and large so if you have a question opt for the smaller size. But I bought these in the winter for the spring/summer so I'm hoping my son grown into them a bit. He's a size 10 and I got a size 9/10 so I was happily surprised they ran a little on the large side.

(RNN) - Hot Reads has learned that there is something relatively important going on in Tuscaloosa, AL, on Saturday night. Has anyone else heard about this?
(Intern whispering in my ear) It has recently come to my attention that the football teams for Alabama and LSU will try to clear up an epileptic rash. Don't know what that is, but it sounds serious and I'm betting it will take longer than one day to clear up.
(Intern again) Oh, he said "epic clash." That makes more sense. It's important to enunciate, folks - even when you're speaking in a low tone so that only one person will hear you.
Moving on, with all due respect to the brilliance of What We Learned, there are a few things from this past weekend we can add to our knowledge base. As an aside, you can hear the writers of both these columns debate deep, life-altering issues by clicking here.
1. Johnny Football is getting old - At least in superhuman, Heisman-winning, freak of nature, Twitter legend terms. What's with him scrambling and throwing the ball away against UTEP instead of scrambling and turning the defense into shredded cheese with a 15-yard run that takes three minutes to finish?
He was actually sacked on two consecutive plays, and fumbled the second one. Gasp! That beating he took against Auburn could still be with him, or teams could be getting smarter about defending him. Either way, it has to make you more hopeful Missouri's James Franklin is ready to go for a showdown in the regular season finale.
2. Tyler Murphy has no help - It's sad because the talent is there. Dropped passes, a running game that's in the toilet and ridiculous mental mistakes have deprived us of enjoying one of the good young quarterbacks in this league.
It's hard to notice when Florida makes big plays because a lot of the positive things they do get wiped out by their conference-leading 62 penalty yards per game. Ouch!
If the Gators were taking care of business like they're capable of doing there would have been no need to score 17 consecutive points just for the honor of losing a close game to Georgia.
LSU at Alabama, 8 p.m. ET Saturday
Nothing that happens in this game should surprise you - no matter who wins, no matter what the score is, no matter if aliens destroy Bryant-Denny Stadium and abduct the cheerleaders as their trophies.
Something is not quite right with the Tigers, but it's hard to put a finger on. They look good on film, they're on pace to break a school record for points and they have everything they need to win this game. So what's up?
Maybe it's this: They're near the bottom of the NFL Lite in turnover margin, penalties and red zone defense.
Or it could be this: LSU is 1-4 against opponents ranked No. 1 under Les Miles. However, he does have three wins against Alabama teams coached by Nick Saban, more than any other coach in the country.
More than likely, though, it's this: Zach Mettenberger's season is a total 180 from a year ago. In 2013 the perception was the Tigers were winning games in spite of him, not because of him. Then he came within a first down of beating Alabama, and he looked like a guy any team that didn't have a QB named Manziel, Murray or McCarron wanted.
This year he started off playing like everybody's All-American, but a tough loss to Georgia, three picks in a loss to Ole Miss and a pick-6 in a sluggish first half against Furman changed that.
Riddle me this: how is a football team with all that depth at running back and an offensive line that good not leading the league in rushing and only holding onto the ball less than 29 minutes per game?
I understand Mettenberger can do a lot of great things for a team, but more good things can happen running the ball than throwing it.
If LSU wants to beat Alabama, it has to give them a heavy dose of the ground game. And yes, Hot Reads is aware the Crimson Tide has the No. 7 rushing defense in the country. But this game will be a heavyweight fight, and you don't jab to knock people out. You do it to soften them up.
It's not that LSU's offense relies heavily on passing - the team has run the ball 114 more times than it has thrown. It's just that they take a lot of long shots down the field. Mettenberger has led the SEC in passing yards per attempt pretty much the whole season.
Can't do that on Saturday.
Alabama already has enough advantages - home field, Nick Saban, a "game manager" quarterback who happens to win a lot of games and motivation to play well enough that the aliens will want to watch the game instead of interrupting it.
If the Tigers try to hit home runs against a defense this good, they are certain to lose. But Les Miles probably won't listen to this, just like he didn't listen to Hot Reads' earlier advice to stop coloring his hair.
But whatevs. To each his own and what not.
Oklahoma at Baylor, 7:30 p.m. ET Thursday
Thankfully, Oregon and Stanford don't kick off until 90 minutes later. That gives you some time to peruse this futuristic look at college football, foreshadowing when teams will be able to score about 100 points and give up only 10.
Oklahoma would seemingly put the jewel in its Big 12 crown with a win over Baylor, but let's look at this game in perspective.
Sure, the Bears score close to 64 points per game, and they are 11th in the country in yards allowed and sixth in points allowed. That's because their toughest competition has been West Virginia (4-5), Louisiana-Monroe (5-4) and Central Texas Women's College (NRA).
Just saying. The Sooners present unquestionably what is the toughest test the Bears have faced all season.
Sooners was a nickname for people who settled the western territories of America. Didn't cowboys live in the Old West? Don't cowboys hunt and kill bears?
I guarantee Oklahoma has a couple of silver bullets with Baylor's name on them.
316: Florida has gone longer than any other SEC team without getting shut out. The Gators' streak is also the second longest in the nation behind Michigan, which has scored in 357 consecutive games.

Take your pick of the top 10 wall Martian's we can't pick the best as there is so many to choose from. Only thing we can guarantee is that these people will be difficult to replicate anywhere else on the planet!
Two women were robbed in Texas, but they have either given a description of a cartoon character or Eric Cartman is now in his 20s.
It was the Lamar County Sheriff's Department who released the drawing stressing that its a composite sketch and not a likeness. Although the sketch may be amusing the crime is not, two women were robbed at knife point. Although I am unsure how this sketch will help anyone identify the robber.The suspect the police sketcher was trying to draw fits the victims' description of a man '6 foot tall or a little taller, approximately 25 to 30 years old with no or very thin facial hair, and a muscular build.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact the Lamar County Sheriff's Department. I am sure if he looks anything like his image he won't be hard to identify.
A young woman in Santander, Cantabria tempted fate by showing off in front of a huge wave as it came up the beach. Instead of going to safety danced in front of the wave in a taunting manner. Result being the wave had the last laugh sweeping her further along the beach.
Wave one – Woman damaged pride.
The smile the anticipation, the excitement can all be seen on the guys face at his upcoming delight.. until he gets the unexpected!
How many people have found their cables seem to end up like this? I recently started an outbound call center in the Philippines and bought some nice desks, and good looking computers but even so still end up with wild cables!
Was BPO jobs being sent abroad such a good idea?
I am sure there is many an inbound call center rep who can tell a similar true story!
Chocolate Milk drinks, ever wondered where they come from?
Now problem is solved!

'Harry Potter' Book Release on ArtsBeat
All over the world, fans await the final installment. The Times reports in images and posts.
Your search for Chabon, Michael in Harry Potter returned 2 articles
Sometimes an audiobook isn't just a good text and a skilled narrator.November 25, 2012, Sunday
This fall will usher in new books from a wide range of literary authors, including Ian McEwan, Zadie Smith and Tom Wolfe.September 5, 2012, Wednesday
All over the world, fans await the final installment. The Times reports in images and posts.
Manohla Dargis and A. O. Scott discuss the evolution of the "Harry Potter" movies.
A decade's worth of Harry Potter movies required lots of off-screen wizards. Now the gig of a lifetime has reached its happy ending.
In Book Five, the Ministry of Magic sends an agent to oversee life at Hogwarts.
It is not immediately clear that "Goblet of Fire" is a step forward for the series, since it gets off to a shaky opening, but the book ends with Ms. Rowling's most lucid, well-plotted and exciting conclusion.
A mass murderer named Sirius Black has escaped, but Harry is preoccupied with his Quidditch match.
Harry Potter returns to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, and disaster looms.
The first novel in the series introduces a boy, destined for greatness, who is chosen to attend the nation's elite school for training wizards and witches.
The latest Harry Potter movie begins with a spot of unpleasantness at the Dursleys and ends with Harry facing down Lord Voldemort.
Childhood ends for the young wizard with the zigzag scar in the happily satisfying film adaptation of the fourth book in J. K. Rowling's series.
Alfonso Cuarón's adaptation more than does justice to the best of J. K. Rowling's books so far.
The demands of remaining faithful to Rowling's book inhibits this movie as it did the first Potter film.
The most highly awaited movie of the year has a dreary, literal-minded competence, following the letter of the law as laid down by the author.

Minor leaguer walking on at QB for Florida
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 7:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 11:51 p.m.
Former Orlando Dr. Phillips quarterback Chris Wilkes is walking on at Florida.
Wilkes signed with Ole Miss in 2008 but chose to play professional baseball after being selected by the San Diego Padres in the 22nd round of the Amateur Baseball Draft.
He pitched five years of minor league baseball before asking to be released from his contract with the Padres in March to pursue a football career.
The 6-foot-4, 235 pounder visited UF on Saturday and committed to the Gators following a meeting with the UF coaches.
"I met with them and made it official," Wilkes wrote in a text message to The Sun. "I have school paid for by San Diego."
Wilkes, who is 6-foot-4, 235 pounds and turns 24 in September, has four years of eligibility remaining and can play immediately.

"Depending on the picture you choose, you might have to try different text colors to make sure they show up. Also the space to write your address and party info is kind of limited. Other than that, this card is beautiful, just as advertised. It's girly but not overtly so. The quality is fantastic, nice thick cardstock, great resolution. Everyone loved it!"
"Excellent print quality on quality paper. I am thrilled. I was looking for a 1st birthday invite that was not too babyish, was not in pastel colors, and printed on both sides. The colors are vibrant, the style lends itself to any theme, and the double sided print allowed me to share more pictures. The order was process and shipped quickly and arrived earlier than promised. I will be ordering from Tiny Prints again."
"I just love this design! It was perfect for my daughter's 1st birthday invitation! Fast delivery to Australia and great quality! Would definitely recommend. Now I just have to think of another event to hold so I can get some more beautiful invitations made up! :)"
"When i received these invitations in the mail, my daughter got so excited. She wanted everything pink for her b-day and the invitations did not disappoint her. Upon reviewing the invitations, my daughter gave me the biggest smile and said, "mom I am so excited." The invitations made her feel just like a princess and she was so proud to give them to all her friends. The invitations are very elegant and lady-like."
"I ordered this design for my daughter's 2nd birthday and i love it. Not only i like the design but the delivery of tiny print is so fast. Thumps up to you guys! Thank you!"

Dig it, man, this documentary will blow your mind as it reveals the roots, the reality and the repercussions of the 60s counterculture movement.
- Rare, trippy archival materials complement expert commentary and remembrance.
- As many as 100,000 hippies migrated to San Francisco for the Summer of Love in 1967.
- Psychedelics, a hippie mainstay, were invented and even promoted by government scientists.
We all think we know what hippies were, but where did they really come from, what did they want, and where did they go? What was life like for the hundreds of thousands of American youth who opted to turn on,"tune in and drop out?" What did society at large make of them? Does their influence continue to this day?
These questions and many more are answered in this mind-expanding special documentary presentation from THE HISTORY CHANNEL®.
Hippies are as cemented in our minds and as common in our popular culture as cowboys and pirates. We know a hippie when we see one: long hair, VW van, and a lot beads. But this stereotype - while often true - doesn't come close to capturing the complexity and significance of what was actually a widespread cultural, political and philosophical movement.
Pursuing the ideals of Peace and Love, unafraid of altering their natural states and pioneering collective experiences such as rock festivals, be-ins and communes, the hippies changed America forever.
With this special DVD, witness the evolution of the hippie counterculture from beatnik coffeehouses and government labs, and meet the influential thinkers who inspired the movement. Tour the wide-open communities hippies endeavored to create and review society's reaction to them. Meet the earliest hippies - whose close-cropped hair and academic demeanor will surprise you - and hippies still "keeping it real" four decades after the Summer of Love.
Whether rocking, tripping, thinking, demonstrating, or just being, the hippies established themselves as a cultural presence that remains as fascinating today as it was shocking then. Experience their world through vivid footage and rare archival images, as well as input from major figures from the movement and historians.
HIPPIES brings this super-charged period vibrantly to life, and gives an unprecedented clarity to a time that, by its nature, was kaleidoscopically bewildering. This is THE HISTORY CHANNEL® at its grooviest. Check it out.
