Lesko, Matthew Community Information Services Government Publications Information Needs Information Sources Library Role Library Services Public Libraries Reference Services User Needs (Information) Public libraries do not always meet community information needs because librarians are trained to answer questions through books when often the best information in an area is from alternative sources.
