For the past two years, the Morgan Library at Colorado State University has made use of self-guided exercises to orient new students to the physical layout of the library and to teach them about basic tools and methods of library research. Students may choose from instructional units on different topics, but all have the same format. Each requires the student to conduct a hypothetical literature search, making use of the card catalog and periodical indexes, then locate the appropriate materials on the shelves. Test questions throughout the unit gauge the student's progress. This report contains three sample units on the topics of moving pictures, rock music, and sexism in education. The questionnaire used by students to evaluate the units is appended. (SL)
