An overview is provided of the services that have been developed in order to meet clients expectations, including reading room services and the development of the 3Tier service model comprising: (1) simplifies the process of getting started, providing tools such as guides that allow independent access and services clients can access for themselves; (2) offers assistance in getting clients started on beginning level research through offering client education programs, conducting straightforward research on their behalf, or providing professional advice on using the collection of the library; and (3) offers formalized referral to specialist sections, subject experts, or curators and tailors and customizes services to readers' needs . The library's approach to benchmarking library services is outlined, including a model that shows the relationship between the variables of client satisfaction, the X factor (i.e., client's perception of the library's value), price, service, and product. A chart presents key service attributes and the top ten factors for quality service. (Contains 12 references.) (MES)
