Library-Use Instruction with Individual Users: Should Instruction Be Included in the Reference Interview?

Rice, James

Reference Librarian, n10 p75-84 Spr-Sum 1984

Addresses the two-fold question concerning imposition of instruction on a library user when he/she only wants answer to information need--whether attempted instruction is infringement on the rights of the user, and whether attempted instruction detracts from the librarian's effectiveness in fulfilling information need. Twenty references are listed. (EJS)
