摘要
To identify the proportion of libraries conducting digital reference service and to examine the characteristics of: those services, we conducted a survey of 150 academic library Web sites. Approximately 45 percent of the surveyed libraries offered digital reference services, with higher proportions among larger and more comprehensive institutions. We also examined: direct links from library homepages, ways in which users submit questions, FAQ documents, policies, technological barriers, and the role of institutional control.
