About this title

Review

...Unique in offering a view of the history of the topic. (Reference Quarterly)

Twenty of the best articles from the literature covering 100 years of user instruction development are included with this excellent historical anthology...This is an important book which deserves the attention of all concerned academic librarians. (Journal Of Academic Librarianship)

Librarians interested in user instruction should add this volume to their professional collections...a significant selection... (Canadian Library Jounal)

...These essays not only enhance our awareness of the trends in bibliographic instruction, they also reveal a great deal about libraries and library service in general...Highly recommended not just to all academic librarians, but to all academic administrators and faculty as well. (Library & Information Science Annual)

...Useful in bringing together a good selection of varied writing on perennial reader education questions. (Australian Academic Research Libraries)

The compilers have done an excellent job of selection: the articles reflect both the positive and negative sides of the BI debate, and also provide a historical framework within which the debate can be set. Valuable too are the short introductions to each article...Highly recommended. (Library Journal)
