Introduction

Reference
In academic literature, a reference is a previously published written work within academic
publishing that has been used as a source for theory or claims referred to that are used in the
text. References contain complete bibliographic information so the interested reader can find
them in a library. References can be added either at the end of the publication or as footnotes.

In a library, "reference" may refer to a dictionary, an encyclopedia or other reference work, that
contains many brief articles that cover a broad scope of knowledge in one book, or a set of
books.

Too many types of printed matter may come in an electronic or machine-readable form. For
books, there exists the ISBN (1) and for journal articles, the Digital object identifier (DOI) is
gaining relevance. Information on the Internet may be referred to by a Uniform Resource
Identifier (URI).

Librarians also conduct reference interviews at library reference desks, to help people find the
information they seek. Help may also be available outside the library though virtual reference
and digital reference services.

1. Evaluating actual performance
