An Assessment of College Student Library Skills.

Abstract

Library literature stresses the need for library instruction that is directly related to the research that students are required to perform in association with their course work. Library instruction should also be tailored to the individual needs of the stu dents in each class in terms of their knowledge of basic reference materials. Attempts should be made to make library instruction relevant and meaningful to the student. Some consideration should be given to whether the students have had prior library instruction. Sex, age, and class level of the students may also influ ence the type of teaching/learning strategy to be selected. Graduate students may not be any more familiar with basic reference sources than undergraduates, nor seniors more knowledgeable than juniors, nor juniors more knowledgeable than sopho mores. Librarians need to survey their classes for this kind of information before
