The University of Texas at Arlington's Virtual Reference Service: An Evaluation by the Reference Staff
Casebier, Katherine D.
Public Services Quarterly, v2 n2-3 p127-142 2006
The University of Texas at Arlington's Library began using an online chat reference in 2002. The service, called Collaborative Digital Reference Service, later became "Ask a Librarian." Slightly over one year later, the library joined the University of Texas System's "Ask a Librarian" service. Both services are powered by software suite called QuestionPoint. In May 2003 and May 2004, the library's reference staff shared their views towards this new reference tool by completing a questionnaire. Statistics and staff members' responses are analyzed in this study. (Contains 2 tables.)
