Advanced library services, common to some special libraries, were applied to certain courses of study in English in five selected colleges. These services included: (1) answering reference questions fully rather than guiding patrons to the answer; (2) the preparation upon request of pertinent bibliographies; (3) notification of faculty members when something appeared in print that they would likely use; and (4) recommendation of books for purchase. Measurement of library use was made among groups receiving these services and among groups not receiving them; no quantifiable differences were observed.
