Abstract:

This article describes the first of a series of assessments examining discrete areas of the service, needed to evaluate a digital reference program. The University of California, Los Angeles, began the first stage of a planned comprehensive evaluation with an assessment of competencies designed to reveal gaps in training that would be the starting point for a revised training program. The objectives of the first assessment were to isolate librarian-error from user-error, software-error and network-error. This assessment is the first piece of wide-ranging evaluation that will involve all staff in the process of crafting best practices for digital reference service.
