Abstract:

Presents an analysis of reference questions received by the digital reference service of a midsized academic library over a two-year period. Shows that the digital service could handle the full range of simple to complex questions typically asked at a physical reference desk. Because broad or complex questions can be difficult to answer remotely, suggests a strategy for improving the process of answering such questions in a digital environment.
