contents The Connection between Library Skills Instruction and the Developmental Writer: Administrative Implications. Wilson, Lizabeth A. Academic Libraries College Students Higher Education Library Administration Library Instruction Library Skills Position Papers Program Descriptions Program Design Program Effectiveness Research Skills Student Research Writing (Composition) Writing Skills This paper opens with a brief description of three administrative options for implementing bibliographic instruction programs for college level students: (1) composition instructors teach their students research methods without working with librarians; (2) librarians offer separate library skills courses to the general student body; and (3) instructors and librarians cooperate in developing and implementing bibliographic instruction programs. Problems with the first two methods are discussed briefly, and the operations of an administrative partnership between the library and the English Department at the University of Illinois are described. These operations include logistics, benefits, and applications for other institutions. Five major benefits of such a partnership are discussed. A checklist is presented for the classroom instructor with sections on needs assessment, department organization, library organization, and library instruction and orientation. A selected bibliography is included with sections on bibliographies/literature reviews; periodicals/columns devoted to bibliographic instruction; guidelines and recommendations; handbooks; theory, general discussion, and case studies; and librarian-English instructor cooperation.
