Summary
The widespread of library resources and their processing is a key trait of university library services which is based around personal interaction between users and the library staff. In today‟s world the term reference service circumscribes more activities than those mentioned by Retting. It is in the light of this that Mitchell (2008) rightly said that today‟s reference librarians are actively engaged with the many emerging new processes by which learning occurs. Rehmann, Shafique and Mahmood (2011) opined that reference librarians in academic libraries are actively engaged with the many emerging new processes by which learning occurs, and by which research is done. User feedback is considered as a more reliable factor in measuring the utility and effectiveness of any library. Surveys have often been used as a tool to assess service quality and user satisfaction
