A copy of a record dis- tributed to make recipients aware of the content but not directing the recipient to take any action on the matter. – 3. A specific copy used as a benchmark for pur- poses of checking the quality of other copies.

  • reference interview, n. ~ A conversation between an archivist and a researcher designed to give the researcher an orientation to the use of the materials, to help the researcher identify relevant holdings, and to ensure that research needs are met.

    • Notes: Reference interviews are conducted to ascertain the identity of the researcher, as a security measure; to determine the researcher’s information needs and purpose; to guide the researcher to appropriate access tools and relevant sources; to inform the researcher of basic procedures and limitations on access, handling of documents, and reproduction; and, after research has been com- pleted, to evaluate the success of the visit and the effectiveness of the reference service offered. The initial reference interview is often referred to as an orienta- tion interview or the entrance interview. The interview at the end of a research visit is often referred to as an exit interview.
