Abstract

In general, regular selection tools for reference materials do not provide adequate coverage for government documents and technical reports. The situation is improving in the case of government documents in recent times as the awareness of the importance of documents is growing. For example, Reference Services Review publishes surveys and special features on government documents. Libraries Unlimited publishes a biennial guide titled, Government Reference Books. In contrast, very little attention is paid to the technical reports literature and they remain unexploited by the average reference librarian.

Abstract

The following annotated bibliography of materials on orienting users to libraries and on instructing them in the use of reference and other resources covers publications from 1981. A few items from 1980 have been included because information about them was not available in time for the 1980 listing. A few items have not been annotated because the compiler was unable to secure copies of these items.

Abstract

A comment on the NTIS reports and their prices is in order. Prices of some of these reports seem to be highly inflated. For example, the paper copy price of A Reference Guide to the NTIS Bibliographic Data File is $6.25. If you notice that it is only 20 pages long, you can figure out ways of duplicating this report — either in paper copy or in microfiche formats — at much lower cost. Similarly, paper copy format of the Index of U.S. Nuclear Standards is priced at $7.25. But the same publication is available from the Superintendent of Documents for only $2.75. In any case, librarians should be aware of this price differential. One way to overcome this problem is to use the resources of a nearby library having a large technical reports collection. One can get these reports duplicated faster and cheaper, provided they are not copyrighted. For more information on the controversy surrounding the NTIS price structure, read the articles: William T. Knox: “Special Libraries and NTIS,” Special Libraries 67 (January 1976) 45–48; and Irving M. Klempner: “Commentary on Knox, NTIS and Special Libraries,” Special Libraries 67 (August 1976) 397–400 as well as the letters to the editor in April and May/June 1977 issues of the Special Libraries.

Abstract

Library instruction has become a public services program at most academic libraries. As such, it has the potential of being a library's most innovative and visible program. Yet, no matter how innovative, such a program cannot become visible without the support of the entire university community. Librarians, administrators, faculty members, and students alike must perceive a need and value for an instructional program if it is to be implemented successfully.
