Hood, Wyma Jane Gittings, Monte James College Libraries Librarians Library Services Library Standards Library Surveys Performance Criteria Questionnaires Reference Services Statistical Data Tables (Data) A descriptive study was conducted employing questionnaires distributed to users and staff members. The adequacy of informational and instructional staff performances, their attitude toward patrons, and the relative proportions of reference and nonreference questions were explored. It was recommended to the staff that methods of performance evaluation should be instituted and periodic self-evaluations should be undertaken, according to reference service standards set by the American Library Association. Questionnaires, an observation check list, the interview schedule, data summaries, and a policy statement are appended. (Author/DS)
