Bibliographic Instruction in Public Libraries: A Question of Philosophy.

Harris, Roma M.

RQ, v29 n1 p92-98 Fall 1989

Describes a survey of public librarians that examined their understanding and use of bibliographic instruction and their beliefs about the role of instruction in reference services. No consensus was found, but respondents' views seemed to be mediated by training in bibliographic instruction, library size, and the library's policy on user education. (eight references) (CLB)
