Description

Introduction Technology has changed library services. In particular, the use of the Internet has made a significant difference in the way that traditional services are provided. Reference service is a critical service that has been changed by technology. Digital or virtual reference has developed as a way of helping patrons "not only on the desk, but in cyberspace" (Zanin-Yost, 2004).

The principles of reference service are discussed in connection with competencies for chat reference.
