Beyond Training: Law Librarianship’S Quest For The Pedagogy Of Legal Research Instruction, Paul D. Callister
Beyond Training: Law Librarianship’S Quest For The Pedagogy Of Legal Research Instruction, Paul D. Callister
Paul D. Callister
The paper (I) outlines the nature and extent of the dissatisfaction with legal research instruction and demonstrates that the problem predates computer-assisted legal research, (II) presents the history of the debate (focusing on a heated exchange between advocates of a “process-oriented” approach and proponents of the traditional, “bibliographic” methods), and (III) presents the requisite elements of a satisfactory pedagogical model, discussing various issues surrounding each of these elements.
In part III, the paper proposes that a complete pedagogical model requires (A) an identifiable and fully understood objective in teaching legal research (which objective must distinguish between the kinds of research …
Harper & Brothers’ Family And School District Libraries, 1830-1846., Robert S. Freeman
Harper & Brothers’ Family And School District Libraries, 1830-1846., Robert S. Freeman
Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research
In the 1830s, at the dawn of mass-market publishing, J. & J. Harper of New York began publishing several libraries, including Harper’s Family Library and Harper’s School District Library. A “library” in this sense is a series or set of uniformly bound and uniformly priced books issued by the same publisher. A leading publisher and a major force in the broad religious and social reform movements of the period, the Harper brothers helped to shape education in American homes and schools. As Methodists they were advocates of reading for moral improvement. As innovative publishers, they made full use of the …

Educating Tomorrow’S Information Professionals Today, Carol Tenopir
Educating Tomorrow’S Information Professionals Today, Carol Tenopir
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
Information skills are easily and frequently taught in school. Positive attitudes about selling yourself, recognizing the needs of the organization, and building customer loyalty are not as common in LIS schools-- nor as easily taught. Business schools have traditionally been more successful in instilling these types of attitudes, but not just because of a course or two.

Bibliographic Instruction: The Need To Edutain, Daniel G. Kipnis
Bibliographic Instruction: The Need To Edutain, Daniel G. Kipnis
Academic Commons and Scott Memorial Library Staff Papers and Presentations
In response to the article in the Winter 2001 LOEX Newsletter, “Making Student-Friendly Instruction: Education or Edutainment?” a distinction was made between “our need to educate” and “our students’ desire to be entertained.” No one is denying the fact Mr. Bridges’ argument that “knowing how to do research, learning techniques for note taking or writing a proper footnote or bibliography is a serious exercise.” But I question the tone and need for strictly traditional methods in teaching these skills to the “modern student” expressed in the article.

I Never Learned About That In Library School: Curriculum Changes In Lis., Carol Tenopir
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
Professional organizations are concerned that programs in Library and Information Science (LIS) may not be teaching up-to-date skills to prepare new information professionals for their first jobs. But good schools also need to provide the broader knowledge that will allow graduates to adapt and continue to function in a constantly changing information world. Due to these concerns, the Special Libraries Association, Association for Library and Information Science Education, Medical Library Association, American Library Association, and others are all looking into what LIS curricula includes now and ought to include in the future, to ensure that the educational programs are keeping …
Library Of Congress' Class L: Education, Table L7: An Expansion For Local Use, Judith Shelton
Library Of Congress' Class L: Education, Table L7: An Expansion For Local Use, Judith Shelton
University Library Faculty Publications
Table L7 provides ranges of Cutter numbers, with no directions for the allocation of the numbers within the ranges. For an extensive collection such as a library might assemble of its parent institution's output, more guidance is needed. Between normal institutional changes and multiple catalogers of varying degrees of expertise, the chances of maintaining a logical shelf arrangement over time become vanishingly small. This case study describes the problem that developed as the table was applied to the institutional publications of Georgia State University, and proposes an explicit expansion of Table L7 for local use as a solution. With suitable …
What One Person Can Do: A Theory Of Personal Involvement In Establishing Library-Faculty Partnerships, Bruce Gilbert
What One Person Can Do: A Theory Of Personal Involvement In Establishing Library-Faculty Partnerships, Bruce Gilbert
Bruce Gilbert
Centers on some of the theoretical and philosophical concerns that are encountered in the process of establishing librarian-teacher-faculty relationships. These thoughts should be of interest to those (particularly librarians) who wish to establish such relationships or those who wish to re-think and revitalize existing relationships.
Education For Database Intermediaries: How Library Schools Have Changed (And How They Haven’T)., Carol Tenopir
Education For Database Intermediaries: How Library Schools Have Changed (And How They Haven’T)., Carol Tenopir
School of Information Sciences -- Faculty Publications and Other Works
In 1988, surveys were sent to all 60 of the American Library Association-accredited schools of library and information science in the US and Canada that offer master degrees. The overall response rate was 88%. In more than 80% of the schools, 3/4 or more of the students receive hands-on experience with online searching, and about the same percentage were exposed to CD-ROM databases. In 23 schools, 1/4 or more of the students were exposed to in-house simulation systems. Of the participating schools, 82% had at least one course 100% dedicated to online searching and 25% had more than one. Several …
Moving Into Management From The Outside, Lynn Wishart
Moving Into Management From The Outside, Lynn Wishart
Library Staff Articles
When accepting a promotion from outside the organization, the new manager must understand what is being given up and left behind, and must also realize clearly what expectations the new library holds. In the new position, the outside manager must articulate goals and find common ground with supervisors and subordinates. The take-charge period should be used for judicious decision making and intense learning.

A Reading Study Skills Course For A Community College, La Ree C. Rasmussen
A Reading Study Skills Course For A Community College, La Ree C. Rasmussen
All Master's Theses
The ability to read is no longer limited to the literal meaning of the word, but is increasingly dependent upon the reader's ability to recognize the style of writing, so that he knows whether to apply denotative or connotative meanings to what he is reading. Because reading needs have changed and will continue to change as rapidly as our culture changes, it is necessary to continuously develop and improve reading skills. The purpose of this study is to: (1) enumerate the reading study skills needed by college students, (2) describe the details of a reading study skills program, (3) and …
A Comparative Study Of The Definition Of Role Of School Library/Media Specialists As Defined By The Joint Committee Of Wsal-Wdavi-Wascd And By Practicing School Library Media Specialists Attending The 1971 Wdavi Spring Conference, Reginald Brian Sullivan
All Master's Theses
A study designed: (1) to determine whether the building level Role Definition produced by the ad hoc Joint Standards Committee was representative of the roles performed by the media personnel, and (2) to determine the role duties of district media personnel. The study showed the Role Definition to be representative and the district level proposal emphasizing administrative and coordinative responsibilities. It was recommended a future study be conducted to further the knowledge of the role/duties of district media personnel.
