Book Description
This fieldwork assignment was created to assess the library and information services at the National Laboratories and to understand their organizational structures and the role of the library within those structures. The author's goal was to collect the data and to evaluate the data and make appropriate recommendations for improving the quality of service at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Library. The objectives were: To develop a questionnaire which will be used in the reference interview; to contact a knowledgeable staff person at each facility and collect the information services data from that person; to identify innovative and unique services; to identify non-traditional methods of delivering information services to the scientific clientele; to obtain any user feedback on the services provided; and to identify the organization structure of each of the National laboratories and to determine the role of the library within those structures.
