Abstract

Describes the development, funding and staffing of the Information Literacy Program (ILP) at the Mantor Library at the University of Maine at Farmington (UMF). The programme aims at helping both UMF students and community patrons to understand better how and where to look for information. Instruction takes place in an electronic classroom equipped with 21 computers running campus-standard Web-browsers and word processing; the instructor's station can control all of the computers in the classroom, or the instructor may pass or share control with students. Discusses issues relating to campus politics, the positioning of the programme in the college experience, the necessity of teaching evaluation skills, and the programme's impact on reference services. gives advice to other libraries considering a similar project

Abstract

While reference librarianship is an exciting profession, some librarians become disillusioned and acquire negative attitudes toward the profession, library education, the professional literature, and their clients. Reference practitioners should consider formal teaching of the of their discipline in order to better come to terms with their profession. The benefits of reexamining one's speciality in te broader perspective needed to teach it, as well as reviewing the professional literature in preparation for the classroom, will have positive benefits for the students in the classroom, the clients in the library and the individual reference practitioner/teacher

Abstract

Organizational restructuring at Western Kentucky University's Helm-Cravens Library resulted in the consolidation of the service points of the Science Library, Government Documents, and Reference into one centralized Reference Center. This created an environment of information overload and technostress for reference librarians. To help remedy this situation, a core knowledge for electronic reference services for all reference desk personnel was established and a new training programme was implemented. All staff who serve at the reference desk were surveyed to determine which electronic resources should become part of the core electronic knowledge. The results of this survey are tabulated. Describes the intensive training programme undertaken once the core item list was established. The programme has enbaled all reference librarians to lead patrons to pertinent resources

Abstract

It is imperative that reference librarians remain current in their knowledge of the evolving information industry and the strategies with which needed information can be identified and accessed. In order to maintain professional competence and currency, librarians need to engage in frequent, appropriate continuing professional education. Discusses certification and censure which are either in place or under discussion in some states of the USA, in an attempt to mandate participation in continuing education. The library profession has now entered into a new paradigm that focuses on the client, and the needs of the client, and the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to ensure that the profession remains a significant player in the information industry will require continual updating

Abstract

Presents the results of a survey conducted to investigate how library and information science students are being educated for careers in a changing reference/information environment. A review of the literature on education for reference work since the 1970s shows a shift in focus from reference sources to reference work with a greater emphasis on user needs and behaviour. Completed questionnaires from 48 teachers of basic reference courses in ALA-accredited programmes were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The most frequently taught skills related to the reference interview and search strategy, most courses covered types of reference sources as well as specific titles, and most teachers give some attention to reference/information services. The learning objectives and teaching methods exhibited considerable variety, however. Qualitative analysis of data about course content and future trends suggested a growing recognition of the systematic nature of reference work and the importance of evaluation
