Abstract
In July 1972 the public libraries of Atlanta, Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, and the borough of Queens, New York, joined in a consortium, with the purpose of demonstrating the feasibility of using existing library branches to provide information and referral (I & R) service. This article reports the findings of research on the experiences of the five members of the consortium during the three years of federal funding, from July 1972 through June 1975. Included are discussions of the nature of I & R service and the role of the public library as an I & R center, evaluation of the efforts of the five consortium members, a summary of the project's implications, and recommendations for future research and development.
