Information and referal (I\u0026amp;R) is defined broadly as facilitating the link between a people and the resource or resources outside the library that can meet their needs. The book helps to define what I\u0026amp;R is, how some libraries have approached it, and what major problems have been associated with its adoption. It serves as a guide on the role of public libraries in I\u0026amp;R, managing I\u0026amp;R in a library environment, appropriate skills and training, the performance of libraries where I\u0026amp;R has been tried, the impact of library-based I\u0026amp;R on the client group, and how library-based I\u0026amp;R compares with non-library I\u0026amp;R.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 356\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1984\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48711566786809,"sku":"9780893911478","price":194.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/6gKFb9SfNi9780893911478.webp?v=1784983435","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/information-and-referral-public-libraries-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
