	Reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In semantics, reference is generally construed as the relation between nouns or pronouns and objects that are named by them.
		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.
		A reference may also be a text (not necessarily a reference text) that has been used in the creation of a piece of work such as an essay, report, or oration.

		When there is no friction and a force acts on a body, the work done by the force is equal to the increase of the kinetic and potential energy of the body, since all the energy expended by the agency exerting the force must be gained by the body.
		The efficiency of a machine, which is defined as the ratio of the work output to the work input, is always less than one, since some of the input is invariably wasted in overcoming friction.
		Some of the units used to measure work are the foot-pound, the erg, and the joule.

	THE REFERENCE INTERVIEW
		Because of the similarity between the reference and the reader advisory interviews, it is useful to begin discussion of the reader advisory interview by reviewing some of the basic aspects of the reference interview.
		As more library users prefer to do their own reference work via the WWW from home, teaching is likely to become more important as traffic in the reference room declines.
		Working with the user, and being aware of constraints, the librarian is aware of realistic expectations and shares those with the client.

		Works are realized through "expressions", which are fixed spatial/temporal representations of works, such as a performance of a play or a symphony.
		There may be several works in the reference database that match the query; the client must select a work either by human intervention or by algorithm.
		The act of reference lookup does not necessarily have to be implemented as a separate step, with a separate database, from the resolution of the identifier, as shown in the model.

	Reference Objects and Garbage Collection
		Phantom reference objects are placed in their reference queue after they become phantomly reachable, but before their reference field is cleared.
		The only real difference between a soft reference and a weak reference is that the garbage collector uses algorithms to decide whether or not to reclaim a softly reachable object, but always reclaims a weakly reachable object.
		The program polls the reference queue and upon notification that the phantom reference is enqueued, performs post-finalization cleanup processing that requires the object to be unreachable (such as the deallocation of resources outside the Java heap).

		About a year ago, I had the opportunity to mentor a customer reference manager and was critiquing a sales reference call that she managed.

		The passage referring to Amalek is read in synagogue on the Shabbat before Purim, and on Purim the reading of Haman's name is accompanied by loud booing to fulfil the commandment to blot out the name of Amalek (Deuteronomy 25:19), as Haman was a descendant of Amalek.
		For this reason, it is likely that Jacob is referred to as a 'homeless Aramaean' in Deuteronomy 26:5.
		Medieval Jews mistakenly used the term 'Ashkenaz' to refer to Jews of German origin, and the expression 'Ashkenazi' is now used to denote any Jew of European, rather than Oriental, family background.

	Digital Reference
		The two cooperative chat reference services (one for public libraries, another for academic libraries) that 24/7 Reference brought to the table at the time of the merger in the summer of 2004 were two of its most valuable assets (the third would have to be the modified version of eGain software that powered the service).
		I must admit that while I was off studying, I also created a password protected wiki on pbwiki that is intended to be a training tool for staff new to reference work in the library where I work.
		In offering this wiki just to the staff being trained over the summer to work at the reference desk, I was able to see if it might serve as a general reference manual for all staff in the library.

	English 201: Research Assignment #3--Subject-Specific Reference Work
		Generally speaking, a "reference work" is a book located in the Reference Section of the library, and with the word "Ref" in the Library of Congress call number.
		A "general" reference includes such books as general encyclopedias (World Book, Encyclopaeidia Brittanica, etc.); though you may use general references for this and other research projects, this assignment asks you to record information from a "subject-specific" reference, NOT from a general reference source.
		The majority of resources in the reference section of a library are subject-specific references, The Encyclopedia of Philosophy, for example.

		In order to determine the proper reference source it is not sufficient to focus on subject or field of study but also more formal parameters should be considered.
