- A Self-Guided Tour on Audiocassette at a Large Academic Research Library: Development and Implementation. Forrest, Charles Gassmann, Mary Academic Libraries Audiotape Cassettes Autoinstructional Aids Higher Education Library Collections Library Facilities Library Instruction Library Services Maps Orientation Materials Scripts Summative Evaluation User Satisfaction (Information) This packet of materials includes an article, "Development of a Self-Guided Audiocassette Tour at a Large Academic Research Library: Preliminary Report," which originally appeared in the Summer 1986 issue of "Research Strategies," and the scripts for self-guided audiocassette tours of the main and undergraduate libraries at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The article describes the development of the audiocassette materials, which were designed for use as an alternative to group tours of the libraries, and an evaluation of the materials after one semester of use. These self-guided, half-hour tours are designed to help patrons develop an increased appreciation for the variety of resources and services available at the libraries and feel more comfortable about asking for assistance. The main library tour script provides information on the library's organizational structure and services, the information desk, reference library, documents library, online catalog terminals, serial record, circulation office, circulation desk, stacks east/deck directory, stacks west, first floor foyer, interlibrary loan office, newspaper library, and university archives. The undergraduate library script includes information on the library's media center, periodicals desk, reference collection, college and career center, reference desk, card catalog, online catalog, browsing area, self-management lab, circulation desk, question board, reserve desk, book collection, and compact shelving area. A listing of tour stops, self-guided library tour objectives, maps of tour stops for both libraries, and a daily report form are also included. (KM)
