Nichols, Margaret Irby Annotated Bibliographies Information Sources Librarians Library Collection Development Library Material Selection Library Planning Reference Materials Reference Services Resource Materials Selection Tools User Needs (Information) The primary objective of this guide is to help librarians select adult services reference tools which cover many different topics, with special emphasis on recent social and technological changes. Arrangement is topical, with particular attention given to the following topics: AIDS, abortion, the environment, economic problems, the crisis in public education, ethnic minorities, women, and area studies.

Section 2, "Reference Services," consists of ten essays that focus on planning and managing reference services, and on situations and problems frequently encountered by reference librarians, each followed by titles for further reading.
