Community Services Disadvantaged Information Centers Information Needs Information Services Library Services Outreach Programs Public Libraries Referral Speeches Urban public libraries are confronted with a decreasing demand for traditional, book-oriented library services. In Detroit, library outreach programs attempted to encourage disadvantaged people to use the library with little success. The information that people needed in their everyday lives was not to be found in the library. To correct this situation, Detroit initiated The Information Place (TIP) program, an information and referral service that attempted to fill basic information needs. Collecting and organizing community information gave the library a new relation to its patrons and provided a new challenge to the library staff. (PF) |
