RefEval is developing to aid libraries in defining a reference transaction and developing means of statistical measurement. The general consensus reached is that the main purpose of the forms and the draft guidelines in general are to ascertain the kinds of information being sought, what will be done with the information once compiled, and the reasons for the gathering of this information. The committee as a whole feels that the definition of a reference transaction and evaluation of reference services will be an ongoing process.
