Can Consortial Reference Partners Answer Your Local Users’ Library Questions?, Bradley Wade Bishop
Information Science Faculty Publications
The purpose of this article is to explore location-based questions as a weakness of virtual reference consortia and discuss how to mitigate related issues.

Casual and thoughtful speakers alike frequently use “library” as though it were the collective noun for “book”: A herd of cows, a murder of crows, a library of books. In practice it matters little whether “book” is understood as a specific physical artifact of ink and paper, or whether it refers more generically to any information-containing entity. The consistent point appears to be that in the presence of a sufficient number of those items, a library necessarily rises into existence.
This implied relationship proves critical to debates over the implications of digital formats for libraries. If libraries are reducible to …
