Teaching Bibliography at the New York University College of Dentistry Library

摘要

Dental students enter dental college after completing four years of collegiate study. Formerly, a group of qualified students were admitted after two years of college, but the number of graduate, pre-dental students is so great, that it has almost excluded this two year group. Such a background would presume a certain degree of maturity and familiarity with libraries and their facilities; yet, it is surprising to find both lacking in many instances at the New York UniVersity College of Dentistry. Instruction in the use of the Library takes nothing for granted and has grown out of a necessity to teach our students how to help themselves and to utilize the library's resources to their fullest capacity.
