Teaching at the Desk: Toward a Reference Pedagogy.
Elmborg, James K.
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v2 n3 p455-64 Jul 2002
Proposes that academic librarians use constructivist learning theory, primarily composition theory, to develop a pedagogy for the reference desk. Implies that reference is a form of teaching, and that to maximize their educational effectiveness, academic librarians need to approach reference transactions as academic conferences where teaching and learning take place.
