Sourcebook for Bibliographic Instruction

Résumé du livre

Direction and guidance are provided for establishing and maintaining bibliographic instruction (BI) programs. This document provides an overview of BI and BI programs and points readers to other sources of information. Five key topics were identified and the following papers are presented: (1) "An Introduction to Learning Theory" (Lori Arp); (2) "Instructional Design" (Mary Ellen Litzinger); (3) "Teaching Methods" (Randall Hensley); (4) "Evaluation" (Mignon S. Adams); and (5) "Setting Up and Managing a BI Program" (Esther Grassian). Four appendixes discuss further details of program implementation, a checklist for evaluating lecture presentations, a list of associations that promote bibliographic instruction, and information on electronic bulletin boards of interest to BI librarians. (Contains 133 references.) (SLD)
