This document discusses the historical development of reference service in libraries. It traces how universal education in the 19th century and the establishment of public libraries led to the emergence of reference service. As literacy increased and libraries provided reading materials, librarians began assisting patrons who knew how to read but not how to use libraries. Samuel Green first outlined the concept of reference service in 1876. Reference service aims to teach users research skills and help them find information to answer their questions. It has evolved with changing technologies and patron demographics.

Definition of information science
Information science is that discipline that investigates the properties and behavior of information, the forces governing the flow of information, and the means of processing information for optimum accessibility and usability.
It primarily concerned with the analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and protection of information.
This includes the investigation of information representations in both natural and artificial systems, the use of codes for efficient message transmission, and the study of information processing devices and techniques such as computers and their programming systems.
It is an interdisciplinary science derived from and related to such fields as mathematics, logic, linguistics, psychology, computer technology, operations research, the graphic arts, communications, library science, management, and other similar fields. It has both a pure science component, which inquiries into the subject without regard to its application, and an applied science component, which develops services and products."

Library science as “a generic term for the study of libraries and information units, the role they play in society, their various component routines and processes, and their history and future development. (Harrods ‘Librarian’s Glossary)
Collection of reading material, its processing, organization and dissemination started with the advent of library. The knowledge and its implementation in respect of library may therefore be called library science.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. 19 CENTURY IDEALS
• Universal Education and Public Libraries (2 movements)That reference service was
developed
• Universal education was the concept that all children in the United States, no matter
what class, race, or religion would be able to receive free public education
• Business Leader– create better worker
• Labor Leader—a way for people to move up in society
• Religious leader—a way to make it possible for more people to read the Bible
• Politician—way to create a single national identity to immigrants
3. RESULT OF UNIVERSAL EDUCATION
• Literacy rate in the United States rose significantly
• 1850—1870 literacy rate had risen to 88.5 percent
• Concept of free public library was being established
4. BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY
• The question is not what will be brought about by a few individuals of
indomitable will and an ardent thirst for improvement, but what is most for
the advantage of the mass of the community. In this point of view we
consider that a large public library is of the utmost importance as the means
of completing our system of public education
5. MARCH 20, 1854
Boston public library opened
it’s door to the public—It was
an instant success
6. WHAT DOES THE DEVELOPMENT OF
UNIVERSAL EDUCATION AND PUBLIC
LIBRARIES HAVE TO DO WITH
REFERENCE SERVICE ?
7. •Reference Service came about as a direct
result of these two innovations
►Universal Education taught the public to
read, and
► public offered materials to read
8. MELVIL DEWEY
•The school teaches them to read; the library must
supply them with reading which will serve to
educate, and so it is that we are force to divide
popular education into two parts of almost equal
importance and deserving equal attention: the free
school and the free library
9. 1876 BORN OF REFERENCE
SERVICE
•The newly literate members of the society knew
how to read, but not how to use a library. They
came into the library in ever-increasing numbers
but did not know what they wanted to read.
Naturally, they asked the librarian for advice. By
1876, the idea of reference service had been born
10. SAMUEL SWETT GREEN AND THE
FOUNDING OF REFERENCE SERVICE
• The 1st discussion of any type of direct service by librarians to help library users was
a paper presented by Samuel Sweet Green at the first conference of the American
Library Association in Philadelphia. His paper, “ Personal Intercourse and relations
between Librarians and Readers in Popular Libraries, outlined the concept of the
librarian interacting with and assisting the reader; he did not use the term “reference
service” because that term had not yet been developed
1st volume of Library Journal---1st professional discussion of what we now call
reference service
11. ACADEMIC LIBRARY POSITIVE
REACTIONS
• Otis Robinson – University of Rochester heartily endorsed
the concept
• Reuben Guild – Brown University described the availability
of librarians to the public at is University
• Columbia College – Dewey 1st to establish a team of
librarians to provide personal assistance to users
• 1st to use the phrase “reference department”
12. ORIGINAL FUNCTION OF REFERENCE
LIBRARIAN
What exactly does a reference librarian do?
1. Teach people how to use the library and its resources.
Some know, some unfamiliar. The first function of the librarian
providing personal assistance to readers was to teach them how
to find things in the library. Green States, “Give the as much
assistance as they need, but try at the same time to teach them
to rely upon themselves and become independent.”
13. ORIGINAL FUNCTION OF REFERENCE
LIBRARIAN
• 2. answer reader’s question. ( provide source that will answer all of
these type of question)
• Types of queries----a. Simple factual queries
b. in-depth research project.
3. Aid the reader in the selection of good books
serves as a readers advisor.
People wanted to read but did not know what was worth reading
14. ORIGINAL FUNCTION OF REFERENCE
LIBRARIAN
• 4. promote the library within the community
if you help them, they will come---and provide money! Greens
concept that by being personally available to members of the
community, the librarian would generate support from the
community, which of course would lead to more use of the library
and greater financial support.
15. CHANGES SINCE 1876
• Much has changed since 1876. The area that is most obviously
different is the technology used in libraries. Whereas in Green’s
time had essentially two formats, books and periodicals.
What type of resources use today?
What cause these transformation?
16. CHANGES SINCE 1876: DIVERSITY
• 19th century English and many dozens of languages
• Incorporate immigrants from Asia, Africa, and Latin America
• Adult and children, teens, senior citizens, veterans, PWD, students,
teachers, business community, unemployed and virtually.
• WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF DIVERSITY TO REFERENCE SERVICE?
Creating need to respond to those demographic changes
17. FUNCTIONS OF THE REFERENCE
LIBRARIAN TODAY
1. Assistance and instruction (formal or informal in the use of library
2. assistance in the identification and selection of books, journals and
other materials relevant to a particular information need.
3. Provision of brief, factual information of the ready reference variety
