Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reference Guides That Should Be Known and How to Use Them: A Series of Eight Groups of Graded Lessons on the Use of Referetice Books Which Could Be Given in Connection With the English Courses in High and Normal Schools Possibly the best way of presenting the points which it is hoped this series of lessons may emphasize is to quote directly from the preface of a Bulletin on "Library instruction in universities, colleges and normal schools," from the United States Bureau of Education, 1914 - No. 34. Many educators of note, as well as college and university librarians, have emphasized the urgent necessity of instruction and training in "book-using skill." ... The place of the library in the work of all departments is one of increasing importance. The library is a resource or reservoir from which the student should draw constantly for information and inspiration, whether his interest lies in history, literature, or science. Every month of delay in instructing him in the meaning and use of the library lessens the efficiency of his course. ... Every new student should be required to take some course in which is given definite practical instruction in the handling of library tools. It is not enough to instruct those who happen to choose history or literature. Such a course, moreover, should not only be required, but it should constitute a definite part of the work required for a degree. Perhaps the best way of securing its recognition would be to give it a definite credit toward a given degree. If work of this character is so desirable for college and university students, it is also desirable, and even to a greater extent, for pupils in high schools, as it should be given as soon as profitable in the educational system. Early familiarity with the methods of arranging reference material in dictionaries, encyclopædias, magazine guides, general indexes, card catalogues, and many other accepted forms, is a great aid to clear, forceful, independent work in adult life. To know in which book one should look for a date in history, or a magazine article on a desired subject, or the presidents cabinet, or hundreds of similar points, should cause no more hesitation than it does to know in which book to look for a telephone number. None of us would willingly be hampered by not knowing how to use so necessary a reference book as a telephone directory; and yet, in a relative sense, a student who does not know where to look for ordinary information is correspondingly hampered.
