English abstract

Digital reference is the service offered by libraries and information centres so that users can ask questions through the Internet. The concept of digital reference is described, along with the different typologies based on various criteria. The technologies used today for receiving questions and sending answers are presented. Guidelines are suggested for implementing a digital reference service, based on four criteria: the actors involved, the techniques used, the available resources and the management of the service. It concludes by highlighting the value of digital reference as an online service that expands the range of patrons.
