There are many slideshows on slideshare, including a number of presentations that are useful to librarians and those looking to use libraries. The slideshow below is one such, that is very interesting for anyone looking to work in a library.
Traditional vs nontraditional service points in libraries
It discusses the changing needs of consumers and how they want a more personal experience with library workers, rather than just having them there behind a desk. It details just what surveys show people want from their library experiences and just what they want changed, or to stay the same. Apparently there is comfort in the appearance of the traditional library, but in todays world of convienince they don't want to have to come find their librarians behind a desk for help.
It's a very interesting presentation, and definately one I would show to workers looking to man a reference desk.
