The Reference Excellence (Ref-ex) program is based on the Ohio Reference Excellence program and was modified with permission for use in New South Wales libraries. The State Library of New South Wales partnered with public libraries to launch the Ref-ex program after working on it for some time. A list of people involved in Ref-ex is provided and libraries are encouraged to join the program.
