Review Reference service meets the information needs of the community with an ongoing reference process of outreach, conducting a reference interview to determine needs, filling needs, and following-up. Model behaviors increase the chances for a successful interview to answer the basic question of what the patron really wants to know. Criteria for Evaluating Print and Web Resources Once you have verified the patron's question, you need to find the answer.
There is no substitute for knowing the reference books you have in your collection or sources available for remote users. In fact, you should think of all the resources in your library and beyond as potential reference sources, and be able to evaluate their usefulness! Evaluation criteria for paper-based resources: Author, Date of Publication, Edition or Revision, Publisher, Title, Intended Audience, Coverage, Writing Style.
Evaluation criteria for web resources: [IFLA Digital Reference Guidelines] Evaluating Web Resources Parts of a Book 1.
