The librarian/information officer as a consumer

Abstract

At this conference, librarians and information officers tried to discover whether they could be more efficient and effective through acquiring a better understanding of their relationship with those who supply them with products and services. The conference was structured into sessions which looked at particular relationships, e.g., with the publisher, retailer, data base provider, information service. Representatives of technical and commercial services gave brief presentations and fielded questions in discussion groups. Trevor Haywood, the theme speaker, visited each group, and as part of his final presentation, published here, brought together general conclusions emerging from the groups.
