- Addressed to the various professional groups concerned with
reading amongst young people, this book illustrates something
of the range of investigation and practical initiative that have
been undertaken in the field. Additionally, it is designed to
point up the very different circumstances in which research can
take place and the conditions these impose on the nature of the
work. The contributors include a Children's Book Officer responsible
for a unique collection of research materials, three public librarians,
and a range of researchers working in different contexts. Specific
subjects for systematic investigation are discussed, pre-eminent
amongst which are staff attitudes to change, means of determining
users' needs, patterns of use and non-use, and ways of developing
more effective services to schools, ethnic minorities, and young
people in the library.

- 'It is good to see a study like this, for one is needed,
if only as a stimulus to this under-researched area of librarianship,
and it is good to see also the sound sense of marrying practice
and investigation - the only way forward.'
- Library Review
-
- 'Those who have an interest in the technical aspects of
how research projects can be set up to measure services to children
should read it.'
