Research Agenda for Library Instruction and Information Literacy

摘要

In 1980, the Research Committee of the ACRL Bibliographic Instruction Section published a groundbreaking document in C&RL News called the Research Agenda for Bibliographic Instruction. This research agenda sought to add new depth to an existingbody of research related to teaching, including instructional media and pedagogical methodology. It posed new questions covering topics such as determining institutional needs for instruction, measuring library skill levels of students, effectively managing bibliographic instruction programs, and determining the impact of library instruction within and outside the library. The document also called for new research in these emerging areas to provide tools and methods for determining the effectiveness ofinstruction programs.
