Description
Summary:Over the past twenty-five years, large institutions have developed highly structured "canned" library use instruction programs that effectively reach large numbers of students with relatively few librarians. The author suggests we now add a human element to our instruction by including opportunities for face-to-face interaction with subject specialist librarians on student topics. The marriage of the structured and the personal interaction not only allows librarians to teach what students should do but adds a more significant level of learning involving how and why, and provides meaning and understanding in the instructional process.
