Libraries seem to be moving away from their users and heading towards customers. The essential difference between these two types of clients is that whereas the latter pay (partially) themselves for the services rendered, the former are funded by public means. Does this shift have an impact on library services? Are all the clients better off at the end of the day? Is there a market for library services? At the Delft University of Technology Library a long‐term programme of client orientation is under way. The appointment of a marketeer as early as September 1988 proved to be merely a starting point. Contrary to the expectations of management the first effects were highly introversive and it took about three years before the first well‐planned external actions could be undertaken. The results of both internal and external activities seem to be instructive and similar to experiences elsewhere.

This paper provides an overview of the arguments for and against the delivery of electronic information via CDROM and online services. To support this overview, the results of a recent independent survey sponsored by Bowker‐Saur amongst UK business information users are presented. The survey analyses frequency of use of online hosts and databases; CDROM as a unique source or supplement / alternative to online; CDROM for current or historic data; multiple access by networks; ratio of use between CDROM and online databases; end‐user searching of CDROM and online databases; re‐charging for searches undertaken on CDROM and online; and criteria for selecting CDROM and online services. Conclusions drawn from the results of the survey are supplemented by personal observations on the UK information market, based on direct first‐hand contact with academic, public and corporate libraries throughout the UK.
