	Yale University Library: Ask!a Librarian Services
		The Reference Services Program of the Yale University Library makes available to all members of the Yale community and, to a lesser extent, to all readers, the research and subject expertise of Yale's public services librarians, subject specialists, and archivists.
		Reference service includes an element of teaching that empowers readers to become increasingly independent users of information resources.
		Reference services are complemented by workshops and tutorials, which provide orientation tours, regularly scheduled workshops on specific tools and topics, online tutorials, and course-related sessions.

	Reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer science, references are datatypes which refer to an object elsewhere in memory, and are used to construct a wide variety of data structures such as linked lists.
		In scholarship, a reference may be a citation of a text that has been used in the creation of a piece of work such as an essay, report, or oration.
		A Reference question, or "Reference" is a procedure through which the government of Canada can submit legal questions to the Supreme Court of Canada and provincial governments to the provincial courts of appeal.

	Distance Education and Virtual Reference: Where Are We Headed?
		Also, it is difficult to conduct any kind of an effective reference interview using e-mail—if a question needs clarification, it may take three or four exchanges over several days just to figure out what the patron really wants—and by that time, there is a very good chance that he or she doesn't need it anymore.
		Reference staff members could be sitting in the library on campus, or they could be sitting in their offices at home...
		And of course, that librarian would be accessible from reference terminals inside the building, but he would also be accessible from the student's desktop later that evening when she got back home, began working on her paper, and found that she had another question.

	Ask a Reference Question
		Your question can be sent at any time, even after the library has closed for the day.
		A reference question can be about almost anything, but should lend itself to a short answer of factual information -- such as a statistic, fact, address, date, or name.

	How it helps your customers [OCLC - QuestionPoint]
		Once a question is submitted or a chat session is completed, the question or transcript goes into the local reference librarian's queue of reference questions.
		If there is any question about the user's intent, or the scope of the question—or any other aspect of the question—the librarian can email the user for a clarification, and perhaps a dialog will ensue to make clear exactly what is being asked.
		From the library user's perspective, however, the culmination of the process is the "answer:" an alert appears in her email, and she retrieves the answer in an email posted by the librarian or the network member.

	Reference (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Reference in a context is ‘content,’ that is, an expression's contribution to ‘what is said.’ Character is more like linguistic meaning than reference and is supposed (according to Kaplan) to account for cognitive significance.
		Reference is arguably the central notion in the philosophy of language, with close ties to the notions of meaning and truth.
		Reference, construed as a relation between bits of language and bits of reality, is assumed to be a genuine, substantive relation worthy of philosophical scrutiny.

	24/7 Reference Collaborative Polices and Procedures [QuestionPoint]
		Refer patrons to their local library or to a referral partner (such as a subject expert) if extensive research assistance is requested.
		Good communication skills are essential in virtual reference, especially since many of the communication options usually available in face-to-face or telephone reference (eye contact, tone of voice, visual cues on the patron's age or level of comprehension) are absent in a virtual environment.
		If the question may be forwarded to consortial partners outside of the patron's own library, such as a subject expert, inform the patron that this may be the case.

	A different reference question - A to Z Teacher Stuff Forums
		I'm thinking of asking my pastor for a reference letter (which will be good for the private schools, but is not good for any public schools), and possibly getting my boss from my part-time job (unrelated to teaching) to give me a "character reference".
		One of my best references was from a prof who I had a couple of classes with and saw me blossom into a good teacher.
		I think references are important, don't get me wrong, but there is a lot to be said for going into an interview and having the ability to converse with a bunch of strangers.
