100 The University of California Libraries system. Secondly, that the University of California will continue and probably should increase its use of the British Library's service for delivery of materials not obtainable in this country. And lastly, that librarians in the University should encourage emulation of the British system by other countries, insofar as possible, through their membership and influence in international organizations such as the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA). On the international level, then, the plan recommends: 1) That advantage be taken of the British Library Lending Division's services, both directly and through the program administered by the Center for Research Libraries; 2) That whenever possible librarians from the University assist and encourage the development of improved access methods in other nations. As noted in Chapter V, there is considerable activity and interest on the international level in networks, and it may be hoped that this will increasingly include interest in systems for physical access as well as bibliographic access to library materials. If so, it should be possible for most materials of scholarly interest to be made available for use by University faculty and students, often within a month or less, wherever they may be located.
CHAPTER VII INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES In addition to library materials, users may also need information that they are unable to locate themselves, and they may need instruction in the use of libraries and library materials. Reference and Information Services. The reference services offered by the University's libraries are broader and more varied than most users realize. In addition to answering questions on almost every conceivable subject, reference librarians provide assistance on research projects undertaken by faculty members and graduate students, explain the use of complex bibliographic tools, arrange computerized searches of many different data bases, conduct information searches using on-line terminals, and (as noted later in this chapter) offer both formal and informal instruction in the use of libraries. Some requests can be answered with simple, factual information, but others require research that may take hours or even days of investigation. As noted in Chapter V, the library's first significant task, from the standpoint of the user, is to help him identify the materials he needs. For many types of materials, the bibliographic tools available for this task are complex or incomplete, and the user is unlikely to be successful in finding the material needed by himself. Librarians are therefore needed to assist users in interpreting such tools, and to insure that all possible sources of information are made known to the reader. The advent of computerized services for searching machine-readable data bases has also added a new dimension to reference and information services. Many of the major abstracting and indexing services, such as Chemical Abstracts, Biological Abstracts and the Current Index to Journals in Education, are now in machine-readable form, and computerized searching of these data bases is provided by UC through the Computerized Information Services (CIS) unit, a Systemwide library activity located at the UCLA campus. CIS also negotiates contracts with commercial
