Abstract

The Readers’ Services section of any academic library represents many things at the same time. This section may rightly be seen as the ‘flag-ship’ of the library as a result of variants but interrelated nature of services rendered. In a broad spectrum, library service is all about satisfying the information requirements of users in teaching, learning, research and community service. Anything short of this is unacceptable and this is why the Readers’ or Users’ Services Librarian is always on his/her toes in terms of service provision. The section is so large because it is made up of other subsections like the circulation unit which is the first port of call as readers step into the library. Staff at the circulation desk are frontliners responsible for registration of new users, charging and discharging of information materials, shelving and shelf-reading, including such broad service like user education. The circulation desk is the window into the library, and the perception of users about the activities in this unit may make or mar the library’s image in the university.
