Bibliographic Instruction at Moraine Valley Community College: A Position Paper.

This paper presents a plan for implementing bibliographic instruction at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, Illinois. The definition and purpose of bibliographic instruction are reviewed, educational strategies in bibliographic instruction are discussed, and an implementation proposal is presented. The proposal describes three phases of implementation, including (1) research strategy workshops and the production of printed library guides, (2) the development of printed guides to key resources, and (3) specific course-related activities. Curriculum development and faculty participation are among the topics addressed in the proposal, and means for evaluating the bibliographic instruction program are summarized. Appended to the paper is a copy of the survey instrument used to solicit opinions on bibliographic instruction from 115 Moraine Valley Community College faculty members. Responses to the survey are tabulated on the survey form. (Author/JL)
