IFLA Digital Reference Guidelines “ The online environment is uniquely suited to consortial models of work and to the development of shared resources. Libraries in different countries may have different traditions of public service, which both affect their current reference practices and their patrons' expectations. ”

IFLA Digital Reference Guidelines “ But it is also important to recognize that new technologies will enable librarians to redefine the scope of their public services. ”

Defining a user base: “ Before establishing a digital reference service, it is important to clarify one's target clientele. Consider how the use of the technology may effect and/or expand an institution's user base. ” - IFLA Digital Reference Guidelines

Defining a user base: “ Physical location is of less importance when an institution has an online presence. In addition to the Library's traditional users, new and different types of users may choose to take advantage of online services.” - IFLA Digital Reference Guidelines
