Keywords:
Biblioteconomia, Ciência da InformaçãoAbstract
Ao longo da história, a missão do profissional de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação tem sido a mesma: fornecer a informação de que o usuário necessita. O serviço de referência facilita o acesso à informação e ajuda o usuário a localizá-la. No entanto, esse serviço sofreu mudanças ao longo do tempo e foi especialmente afetado pelo avanço da tecnologia.
Neste trabalho, o autor considera alguns aspectos comuns aos países desenvolvidos e ao nosso país; além disso, fornece alguns elementos úteis para auxiliar o profissional de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação no desempenho de suas funções como referenciador, em seu trabalho diário de prestar um serviço eficiente ao usuário.
Por fim, conclui afirmando que o serviço de referência precisa se concentrar nas necessidades específicas dos usuários, e não agrupar ou tentar generalizar as reais necessidades de informação dos mesmos.
