Bibliographic Instruction.
Mertins, Barbara, Comp.
Current methods for library instruction in academic libraries include audiovisual materials, programmed learning, self-paced workbooks, and course-related instruction. This document consists of reports on instructional programs involving these methods at five college and university libraries. The Concord College Library's program, "A Librarian in the Classroom," develops the curriculum of a course through cooperation between a librarian and the instructor with input by the students as the course progresses. An audiovisual orientation program at West Liberty State College (designed for students in freshman English) is a 35mm color slide presentation with live narration for large groups or a cassette tape for individual viewing. Bibliographic instruction at Glenville College is handled through the user services department. West Virginia University has developed a workbook for teaching library skills which provides students with hands-on library experience and is used as the basis for a one credit hour course, "Bibliographic Citation for Non-print Materials." It was prepared by Fairmont State College to assist the researcher because current manuals neglect instructions for citing non-print materials in research papers. (JAB)
