They yet overlook another significant segment which is likewise expected to be ffered by the libraries on the off chance that they are to support and increment their participation. This significant part is client care. As indicated by Jamier L. Scott (2002), from Wikipedia characterizes client care administration as a progression of exercises intended to upgrade the degree of consumer loyalty †that is, the inclination that an item or administration has met the client desire. In this way the client should feel comfortable when the individual is in the library and should leave while they are satisfied that they have truly been assisted.Customer care is the watchword in both private and open areas as e move into the administration time of 21st century (De Saez, 2002:126). The customer is immovably at the focal point of missions and key arrangements. Libraries and data administrations must exhibit this continually and reliably in the event that they are to succeed. The need to feel that one is regarded is indispensable to a person's idea of self. De Saez (2002:66) contends that an inviting air can be made by staff very much prepared in client care.This implies that I ibrary statt ought to be proficient in client care and should make sure that they keep up inviting condition consistently. Library ustomers or clients ought to be invited heartily. De Saez (2002:75) further recommends that notwithstanding, all library representatives be urged to perceive their genuine job as sales reps for the association. Their job will be to make a client care an elevated level need, introducing an expert face consistently to set up and grow great advertising. Kotler†¦ et al (2008: n. ) says that todays organizations are going past planning methodologies to draw in new clients and make exchanges with them. Organizations are presently utilizing client relations the executives to hold clients nd construct beneficial, long haul relationship with them. In like manner libraries should utilize client relations the executives, client care comprehensive, to hold their clients or pull in new individuals or clients. When a client is abused and baffled, he would not have any desire to return and will be disheartening others from going to the library locating his experience of abuse as an example.Library staffs should be pleasant to their clients in the event that they are to keep belittling the libraries. Rice (1997:17) likewise contends that on the off chance that you couldn't care less for your clients you will most likely go ut of business. The client will go where they feel that they are invited. This suggests if there should be an occurrence of a library they will avoid going to the library and incline toward other data sources like the web where they won't meet antagonistic vibe. So in the event that individuals don't go to the library, at that point the library will be dysfunctional.Therefore it is also significant these days, as in some other business fo undations for custodians to watch client care in libraries. 1. 2 Background College of Medicine (COM) is one of the five constituent schools of University of Malawi.

The other gathering is that of understudies with A-level science subjects acquired from Chancellor College, Kamuzu Academy or some other secondary school. These understudies are selected straight into the principal year of clinical course for five years.COM like some other foundation of higher learning has a library at its grounds. It is arranged along Mahatma Ghandi street. For the initial ten years, the library worked from the Polytechnic library complex until October 2000 when it moved to its current area (Mangumbi, 2006:1-2).

Then again, research procedures as indicated by Powell and Connaway (2004:286-287) allude to techniques urrounding the utilization of numerous strategies for information assortment as required by various sorts of endeavors to accomplish further extent of unwavering quality and legitimacy. This includes gathering the assessments of individuals on a specific point.

While quantitative puts accentuation on the experimental investigation and clarification of marvel, where speculation from the example to populace is the objective (Newman and Benz, 1998 n p).
