An analysis of questions and answers in libraries

About this Digital Document

Traditional methods of analyzing questions and answers as they occur in reference libraries are discussed and criticized. Methods are evaluated. A pragmatic scheme is suggested which classifies answers by their formats, dividing them into exact reproduction type, fill-in-the-blank type, short descriptive type, information-about type, and list-of-references types.
