Development of Critical Thinking Skills: An Analysis of Academic Library Experiences and Other Measures.
Whitmire, Ethelene
College & Research Libraries, v59 n3 p266-73 May 1998
A study of undergraduates found that grades, class year, focused academic library activities, informal faculty interaction, active course learning, and conscientious writing resulted in gains in critical thinking, suggesting that academic librarians should design library-research-skills courses to increase student-focused use of the library and its resources.
