Title

Fees for reference services in university libraries in Israel

Abstract

Reports results of a survey concerning the issue of fees for reference services in university libraries in Israel where 51,9% of the participating libraries were found to charge for some of their reference services. Out of the libraries providing the specific service, 90,9% charge for online searches, 28,6% and 9,8% charge for mediated and end user CD-ROM searches respectively. Comparing these results with the current situation in the USA it was found that fewer libraries abroad charge for online searches and mostly none for CD-ROM searches. The study also investigated the attitude of university libraries towards outside users. Lists some alternative financial solutions for providing modern reference services in spite of their increasing cost. Recommends modification of the present definition of basic reference services versus specialized reference services
