The author undertook the following procedures: (1) Compiled a list of the national library functions which are mentioned in the literature, and included it in a questionnaire which was sent to fifty national libraries throughout the world asking them to indicate on a scale of 1-5, the priority level of those functions they perform. (2) Reviewed and analyzed official documents in Saudi Arabia on the current state of library and information services. (3) Obtained opinions from Saudi professionals and potential users, and from the national librarians previously surveyed as to proper functions for a proposed national library in Saudi Arabia. 82% of the national libraries' questionnaires and 87.5% of the Saudi professionals' questionnaires were returned. |
