Abstract
It has been said and re-said that reference librarians only answer roughly 50% of referencequestions correctly. But while this statistic is passed around as fact - where does it come from? Inthis paper, I track down the elusive citation using backwards chaining, citation analysis, andhistorical tracing. And then, I will re-examine the study that appeared to start it all through amodern lens, ultimately suggesting that we abandon the idea of half right reference once and forall.
