contents Bibliographic Instruction for Freshman Students at Florida International University. Dunbar, H. Minnie Academic Libraries College English College Freshmen Higher Education Library Instruction Library Materials Program Descriptions Reference Materials Teaching Methods The presentation outlined in this paper provides: (1) a brief account of the conception, initiation, and implementation of a bibliographic instruction program to serve all freshman students, and to serve such special populations as international and minority freshmen; (2) an outline of the general characteristics of each category of students, the type of services and skills they require, and the methods used to organize and deliver information to them; (3) a description of the functions of librarians in bridging the gap between the students and departments, and the library; and (4) a discussion of the role of the librarian in helping students develop skills for acquiring, processing, and using information independently. At the suggestion of the Faculty Senate, librarians approached the English Department with a proposal to provide formal library instruction through English classes. The English Department accepted the proposal, and the program described in this paper began in 1983. The general focus of the instruction is a guided tour of the library and coverage of basic library tools: the card catalog, general reference materials (e.g., encyclopedias, handbooks, and yearbooks), abstracts and indexes, and periodicals.
