Teaching Basic Library Skills: Past Tense, Future Perfect
Abstract
Over the past decade, academic librarians have identified increasingly sophisticated learning objectives for programs of bibliographic instruction. The new objectives include the use of conceptual frameworks, the development of skills in topic analysis and problem solving, and the study of scholarly communication and bibliographic structure in a particular field of knowledge. As these objectives gain acceptance in library instruction programs nationwide, the old, familiar objectives, such as learning how to use an index, have become the target of growing criticism.
