The original work was the Preliminary Edition of Handbook of Reference Services, prepared for use at a Basic Skills Institute held in September 1977 at Texas A&M University. Within four years, the Second (1979) and Third (1981) Editions followed. Since then, I have compiled threesmall guides for the Texas State Library: Current Texas Reference Sources: A Sesquicentennial Guide (1985), Selecting and Using a Core Reference Collection (1986). and its revision Selecting and Using a Core Reference Collection, 2d ed. (1993). The first, which focused on in-print works on the state's history, culture, and geography, attempted to help librarians in meeting demands generated by the 1986 Sesquicentennial celebration. As an additional service to the library community, the Texas State Library sponsored a series of seven workshops on library preparation for the Sesquicentennial year. As the presenter for these workshops, I had an opportunity to talk with numerous librarians from around the state. Many from small libraries expressed a need for guidance in selecting materials which would enable them to provide basic reference services. Others wanted an updated version of the Handbook of Reference Sources, 3d ed., which was beginning to show its age. Selecting and Using a Core Reference Collection was designed to answer the first request. In response to the second request, the Library Development Division of the Texas State Library surveyed the ten systems coordinators to determine the desirability of an updated version of the Handbook, and if a need existed, what changes and additions would enhance its usefulness to small and medium-sized libraries. The coordinators endorsed a revision and made numerous suggestions for its improvement. Handbook of Reference Sources and Services for Small and Medium-Sized Libraries (1988) resulted. Numerous subject areas and essays on providing services were added: thus the change in title. In planning that revision, I again decided to address it to small and medium-sized libraries. Most public libraries, of course, are in cities of
