Adding Zest To Opac Instruction: Humor And The Unexpected, Bonnie Petry

Library Faculty Publications & Presentations

This article evolved from " Getting Students to NOTIS, "

a presentation that the author gave at the 1995 Chicago NOTIS Users

Group Meeting (NUGM) conference. Humor is a desirable element of

all types of instruction, particularly bibliographic instruction. A good

method for injecting some humor into bibliographic instruction is

of bibIiographic records useful for this approach, provides strategies for

locating them, and suggests ways to incorporate them into a class.

Asian students compose the largest group among other ethnic groups. The study shows that students who use English as their primary language are usually more successful in using the library than those who use English as a second language.
