Interesting Article

I just had an interesting article pointed out to me in the October 2004 American Libraries called "Building on Bibliographic Instruction" by Esther Grassian. She gives a brief history of "bibliographic instruction" and argues that "information literacy" instruction contains many of the same skills that have historically been taught in BI, just with a new name. She also argues that library instruction should include both the critical thinking or "information literacy" skills and the "traditional""here's how you search this" skills.

Being ALA they don't make articles very accessible online, but American Libraries is available in FT in Academic Search Premier through GALILEO.
