    Abstract
    Discusses the results of an unobtrusive test of Scottish public library reference services, carried out by students of the School of Librarianship, Robert Gordon University, which indicate that, despite a marginal improvement on previous surveys, there is still cause for concern about the quality of response to enquiries. Major problems found include: little attempt to investigate information need; poorly formulated search strategies; failure to exploit fully on site resources; and lack of evaluation of client satisfaction
