This handbook was prepared for the officers and committee members of the ACRL (Association of College and Research Libraries) Bibliographic Instruction Section (BIS). Introductory material by Mimi Dudley and James W. Hart traces the history of bibliographic instruction (BI) and the development of BIS. Following a brief discussion of how to get involved in BIS, its organizational structure is described and procedural information is presented, including bylaws, the master calendar, required meetings, and the responsibilities of officers and committees. A section on committee charges and membership lists includes the ALA (American Library Association)/ACRL BIS Chart for 1986/87, lists the name and address of the newsletter editor, and provides information about 16 standing and ad hoc committees, including the committee purpose, chair, and members. Finally, listings of section activities and resources, including programs, chairs, and publications, are provided, as well as an alphabetical listing of committee members. Four appendices include forms for committee volunteers, budget requests, requests for payment, and change of address forms. (KM)
