contents Librarian Client Learning Projects. Final Report. Penland, Patrick R. Adult Learning Behavior Patterns Educational Resources Independent Study Learning Learning Motivation Libraries Library Research Library Role This study examined the selflearning and educational patterns of selected respondents in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania who have used library resources on a continuing basis. The content of learning projects emerged from real-life negotiations and ranged across the transactional environment. Episodes--consulting people, reading, browsing, searching, viewing, and listening--were linked to form sequential learning projects exceeding the definition of seven hours spread over three days. Respondents tended to use a combination of four major types of resources for information and planning: self as resource, non-human resource (e.g., library materials), another person (e.g., a librarian), or a group. This study found implications for the librarian in the role of learning consultant developed around the psychology of actual learning patterns rather than instructor's methods or library use training.
