Abstract

The Internet Public Library (IPL), hosted by the University of Michigan School of Information, is an entirely virtual operation located on the Web with a mission to provide library services to the global Internet community. Describes the work of the IPL Reference Center which provides interactive reference services through a Web server and e-mail. Outlines how reference questions are handled by voluteer librarians and library students, discusses the characteristics of an e-mail reference service, and explains how the IPL's specially developed software system (QRC) works
