520			_a Library orientation techniques, particularly in a special library, are viewed as an integral and critical component of the total library programme. Planning and development of continuing programmes for user education must begin with a sound knowledge of the library's clientele, their work patterns, their information demands, information needs, and their information seeking behaviour. Viewing user education as a process rather than a series of discrete acts, library orientation techniques are seen to have the primary objectives of establishing and maintaining library awareness among both library users and potential users. The establishment and maintenance of such an identity is not only based on the provision, organization and servicing of relevant information resources, but on selling the library, or orienting clientele toward the library as a major source of meeting their information needs. Within this scope the following orientation and re-orientation techniques, are considered: group and individual tours, tape/slide presentations, printed guides and other printed aids, displays, posters and library signs and guiding.
