- Abstract
- In order to assess the extent of the integration of library instruction into the higher education curriculum in the USA, a search was made of 29 discipline-specific pedagogical journals in the ERIC database for descriptions or mentions of library resources and personnel. Of the 13,016 articles in the 29 journals, only 53 citations included some form of the word library in the ERIC record. A more in-depth study of 13 selected titles from the list was undertaken to identify articles discussing or relating to library instruction, research skills, or assignments. Results show that few articles discuss the importance of reviewing the literature, teaching the major information tools of their field, critically evaluating the published literature, or of building upon skills learned in core courses. References to bibliograhic instruction and the impact librarians can have on student research are scattered and sketchy. The study provides little evidence of the integration of the library and library instruction into the curriculum
