The focal point of this study emanates from both personal observations formed in public library branch work and questions raised in the subject literature to the effect that tension appears to exist between the wants of the majority of users and the perception of the dominant goals of the public library by their staff, resulting in differing views as to the book selection policy of this institution. Book selection policies have been taken to reflect the attitudes of library staff towards users' wants in terms of their adherence to the tenets of Anglo-American public library objectives. 2016-02-22T07:11:49Z 2016-02-22T07:11:49Z 1988 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17150 eng application/pdf Library and Information Studies Centre (LISC) University of Cape Town |
