9.5 Referral

Referral describes the active mode of information service, of the type traditionally provided by
SPECIAL LIBRARIES. The attention of users is drawn to information held by the library or information
agency in anticipation of demands they might make.
Preparation and circulation of newssheets, literature surveys, reading lists, abstracts, etc. are used
for this purpose, and in cases where the immediate resources of the service are insufficient users
will be referred to specialist organizations for further help.
