Information services in this study were categorized intoreference services and searching & browsing services.Research results in regards to ratio of browsing services versus search services of academic libraries in two English speaking countries, Ireland and New Zealand, revealed that browsing services overcome searching services. In- depth analysis shows similarities and differences between searching & browsing services in these two countries.
