According to Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, reference service aimed at new readers is called :
Answer: D
Reference service for new readers is called Initiation.
Ranganathan described reference service in stages. Initiation introduces a fresh reader to the library: its layout, its catalogue, its rules and the arrangement of books, so that the newcomer can start using it. Only after initiation does a reader need the other forms of help.
General help to general readers is the continuing help given to readers in general. Short range reference service answers a question quickly from ready reference books, and long range reference service involves an extended search through many sources. None of these is the service for new readers.
