Assessment of Outcome-Focused Library Instruction in Psychology.

Daugherty, Timothy K.; Carter, Elizabeth W.

Journal of Instructional Psychology, v24 n1 p29-33 Mar 1997

A sample of 49 non-psychology majors taking a course integrating library research skills with social science research showed increases in skill level, efficiency, and positive attitudes toward the library after a semester of outcome-focused instruction. The results suggest that co-development between course and library faculty can be an effective approach to library instruction. (PEN)
