The CAVAL Reference Interest Group was formed in 1989 to give reference staff from the CAVAL member libraries a forum for discussing and sharing information and skills relevant to the provision of reference services and reader education programmes. Throughout its years of operation, CRIG has made significant contributions to the development and improvement of reference services and information literacy programmes in participating organizations.
CRIG is an expert group within the committees structure of CAVAL. CRIG has set up a number of Working Parties at various times to undertake specific roles. The working parties report to CRIG which in turn reports to the CEO of CAVAL.
