    Abstract
    Considers the differences between the intellectual, emotional and social development of children and adults can lead to difficulties in understanding and communication, in the case of children, during the reference interview. Presents a state of the art review of studies of reference interviews conducted with children in public libraries. Concludes that, in order to have a more successful reference interview, librarians must take account of the specific differences between adults and children

    Abstract
    User studies provide libraries with invaluable insight into their users' information needs and behaviors, allowing them to develop services that correspond to these needs. This insight has become even more important for libraries since the advent of the Internet. The Internet has brought about a development of information technologies and electronic information sources that have had a great impact on both the ways users search for information and the ways libraries manage information. Although humanists represent an important group of users for academic libraries, research studies into their information-seeking behavior since the advent of the Internet have been quite scarce (Ellis & Oldman, 2005) in the past decade. This study presents updated research on a group of humanists, Jewish studies scholars living in Israel, as information users in the digital age based on two categories: (a) the use of formal and informal information channels, and (b) the use of information technologies and their impact on humanistic research.

    Abstract
    Contribution to a feature on health care within the library systems. Considers the role libraries should play in providing medical information to library users, with particular reference to the Mountain States of the Pacific Northwest USA, in light of a survey of academic libraries in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming: 3 large states with no medical schools or large medical libraries. Results show that academic libraries in all 3 states surveyed are performing a significant function in providing medical information to users, including the general public. Receiving medical questions has become an established part of a reference librarian's routine in academic libraries of all sizes, and such questions are particularly common in smaller libraries, such as community and two year college libraries

    Abstract
    The University of the West of England (UWE) Library Science comprises 4 campus libraries spread across Bristol. It has gradually developed network services and access to JANET and the Internet for the libraries at all campuses but has only recently had access to Netscape. Reports 2 case studies conducted by UWE librarians on using the Internet for Fine Art Print resources and using JANET/Internet resources to support mathematics highlighting some common thoughts and issues surrounding the Internet

    Abstract
    Information professionals are increasingly responsible not only for running traditional information and library services but also for providing an online presence for their organisation. This book shows how best practice in delivering online information services should be based an actual user needs and behaviour. A series of case studies provide real life examples of how social science information is being used in the community. The book then draws an these case studies to outline the main issues facing service providers: such as usability, meta-data and management. The book concludes with a look to the future and how both technological and organisational changes will shape online information services.
    Content
    Key features - Case studies show how - in practical terms - information science issues relate to users' behaviour - The book is written by experts in the field, with each chapter drawing an both case studies and extensive experience in the field - The book can be used as a detailed reference or an overview The Authors The contributors to the book are based at the Institute for Learning and Research Technology, University of Bristol, UK and are responsible for developing and running national online services. The book is edited by Dr Jacobs, an experienced information professional who has worked both in traditional libraries and an national projects and online services. Readership The book is aimed at anyone providing an online service to Chose using social science information, including information officers, librarians and knowledge managers, together with related IT managers and students of LIS at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Contents Section 1 - case studies, describing how information is used in the health, government, academic, trades union, media and other sectors, with particular attention to online information practices. Section 2 - drawing the lessons from the case studies. Section 3 - the major issues facing service providers, including selection, metadata, usability, accessibility, management, and building user skills. Section 4 - the future, covering both technological developments such as the semantic web and portals, and organisational issues such as the changing role of the information professional.

    Abstract
    This is a call for librarians to adopt performance measures and learn to work with the results so that assessment of reference services is not left to those who neither understand nor value libraries. This fascinating book explores a wealth of assessment methods that librarians can use to collect data and create standards that are valid, practical and useful in accounting for reference services. Some of the methodologies described include quantitative measures, qualitative measures, patron surveys, questionnaires, interviews, case studies, peer review, unobtrusive testing, and even updating the library's policies and procedures manual
