- Abstract
- To answer this question I need a theoretical discussion of the aspects that have implication on the quality of the reference service, and an empirical study of the service. By combining theories from the field of reference service, service, goods quality and service quality, I propose six factors related to the total quality of the reference service: The library, the servicescape, the librarian, the user and the answer. From these aspects I have in this paper chosen to focus on the librarian's ability to communicate with the user. The empirical study consists of an analysis of 20 dialogs conversations between user and librarian. The analysis has its theoretical and conceptual roots in Conversation Analysis or CA.

- Abstract
- This paper highlights some of the significant findings from author's PhD: "Factors affecting the end-use of electronic databases in public libraries." Public libraries have a wide range of different types of users who, unlike academic or special library users, are not necessarily information-trained (see Coles, 1998). Whereas the academic, special library user may have specific information needs that can be met by electronic sources, public library users do not necessarily have such specific information needs that can easily be identified and met. Most user surveys have tended to concentrate on the searching and retrieval aspect of information seeking behaviour, whereas this study's user survey focused more on how people perceived and related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). It was not how people searched a particular electronic source, in this case CD-ROM, that was of prime interest but rather whether or not people actually used them at all and the reasons why people did or did not use electronic media. There were several reasons the study looked at CD-ROM specifically. Firstly, CD-ROM is a well established technology, most people should be familiar with CD-ROM/multimedia. Secondly, CD-ROM was, at the start of the study, the only open access electronic media widely available in public libraries. As well as examining why public library users chose to use electronic sources, the paper looks at the types of CD-ROM databases used both in the library and in general Also examined are what sort of searches users carried out. Where appropriate some of the problems inherent in studying end-users in public libraries and the difficulty in getting reliable data, are discussed. Several methods were used to collect the data. I wished to avoid limiting research to a small sample of library sites, the aim was to be as broad in scope as possible. There were two main groups of people 1 wished to look at: non-users as well as CD-ROM users

- Abstract
- Reports on an innovative library based information and referral programme 'Senior Connections', from its inception at the Adelphi University School of Social Work in 1984 to its institutionalization in 1995 within the Nassau (County) Library System. Based on a partnership between librarians, social workers, and teams of trained older volunteers and student interns, Senior Connections proved to be both service and cost effective for services targeted to older adults in their local communities. Suggestions for the future include interagency collaborations, application of I&R technology, interdisciplinary associations and maximum involvement of older citizens in library I&R programmes

- Abstract
- The recent explosion of community networks, such as Freenets, across North America has prompted the information and referral community to question whether community networks are providing, in part, a duplicate service; what the implications of their growth might be in terms of service delivery to the public; and whether their expansion might threaten the security of support for I&R agencies. Examines an aspect of the nascent rivalry between community networks and I&R agencies: how they differ in their control mechanisms and consequent management of community information. Suggests ways the 2 types of organizations can work together to provide the public with accurate and comprehensive community information
