This conference explores the nature of Internet-based question-and-answer
service within a broad range of contexts, including libraries and
information centers, government, business, education, and other
industry>sectors or organizations, as well as the specific issues involved
in providing any type of digital reference service. The theme of this
year's conference, "Charting the Course of Reference: Toward a Preferred
Future," emphasizes planning and direction founded upon practical
experience, research, or trend analyses.
