This document presents the syllabus, lecture outlines, student assignments, and special guest lectures for a course offered for the second time at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate School of Library and Information Science during summer semester 1985. The course was designed to provide graduate students with the theoretical foundation and practical experience for the bibliographic instruction responsibilities included in an increasing number of library positions. While library educators and bibliographic instruction practitioners have not reached a consensus on how best to educate graduate students for bibliographic instruction positions, this course presented one alternative: a course combining practice and theory and taught by an active bibliographic instruction practitioner.
