Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Guide to the Use of Libraries: A Manual for College and University Students This manual is intended to serve as a textbook and basis for problems in the course on the use of books and libraries as given at the University of Illinois for freshmen and sophomores. It is, in its present form, a development from outlines and lecture notes used in this course for a number of years past. Although there are several excellent textbooks on library practices already published, none seem to meet the needs of a course for college underclassmen, in which weekly problems are assigned to be worked out by the student. This book lays no claims to originality, nor does it contain anything for the trained librarian or scholar. It seems justified, however, because its use will leave free for recitation and discussion the part of the class period formerly consumed by the students in detailed note-taking from lectures. The course for which this manual has been prepared was started at the University of Illinois in the fall of 1898 by the late Katharine L. Sharp, formerly Librarian and Director of the Library School, and has been continued by successive members of the Reference Department of the Library, assisted by members of the Faculty of the Library School. It is an elective course, accepted for credit in the undergraduate colleges of the University. Its purpose, primarily, is to give to the students early in their college career some knowledge of the resources of the library and a familiarity with reference books which will help them in the preparation of assignments in other studies. Recitations are conducted by a combination of the question-and-answer, topical, and lecture methods, but the most important feature of the course is the laboratory work in the form of problems which necessitate the use of the library records and books described in the manual. These are assigned each week and on being handed in are corrected and returned to the students at the following class period. (See Appendix II for sample problem.)
