The 19 papers and three panel discussions on the goals, methods, and evaluation of user education that are presented in this collection draw upon the experiences of librarians of the Scandinavian countries and Great Britain. The principles and practice of user education and its aims and goals in each of the participating nations are presented in seven of the papers, aspects of instructional materials and teaching methods are explored by nine others, and the evaluation of user education, including problems, methods, and practice, are considered by the final three. Interspaced among the three groups of papers are panel discussions on the general themes presented by the papers, and the seminar concludes with a final discussion and recommendations. Included are a list of participants and a list of publications in Swedish by the Chalmers University of Technology Library. (RAA)
