Title
¬The e-mail reference interview
Source
RQ. 35(1996) no.3, S.345-358
Year
1996
Abstract
Predicts that, as electronic reference services continue to broaden in scope and complex requests are negotiated by remote users via electronic mail, the e-mail reference interview will become commonplace. The difficulties of conducting e-mail reference interviews have been noted in the literature, but resaerch in this area is lacking. Reports results of a 3 phased project at the College of Library and Information Services (CLIS), Maryland University, to study the process. Discusses differences between e-mail reference interviews and those conducted using other media; presents a taxonomy of approaches to e-amil reference interviews; proposes the use of a systematic approach, and describes a model e-mail reference interview. Results suggest that reference interviews can be conducted via e-amil for some complex questions. However, further testing is required by experienced intermediaries working under the pressures of client deadlines and institutional constraints
