This paper reports on an evaluation of InfoPoint, a centrally-managed, professionally staffed reference service available at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus Library through a variety of communication modes, including a World Wide Web form, direct e-mail, and chat and
collaborative browsing. Over 400 InfoPoint users were sent a questionnaire, to which 69% responded, that examined user perceptions of the effectiveness, quantity, timeliness, convenience, and instructional value of the service.
