The purpose of this literature review is to delineate several issues related to the question: how are the information-seeking habits (biases, preferences) of community college freshmen impacted by instruction on effective information retrieval, value-added practices of reference librarians, and the adoption and marketing of virtual reference services in a community college library/learning resource center setting? Attention must be paid to these factors when planning and implementing virtual reference.
