This report presents findings from the Metropolitan Educational Research Consortium (MERC) Cultural Diversity Within Schools Survey.

Most librarians are required to take classes on reference, collection development, and information organization in library school; courses on pedagogy, on the other hand, are usually optional, if they’re offered at all.

Adult Learning Theory And Reference Services: Consonances And Potentials, Jimmy Ghaphery
