Information and Referral Services--Attitudes and Barriers: A Survey of North Carolina Public Libraries.

Baker, Sharon L.; Ruey, Ellen Dew

RQ, v28 n2 p243-52 Win 1988

This study explored the relationship between expanded information and referral (I&R) services and traditional reference services in public libraries in North Carolina. Results show librarians feel I&R services should be limited to those closely related to traditional reference services. Other I&R services typically provided by social service agencies are being rejected by libraries. (15 references) (Author/MES)
