- The Role of the Librarian in an Undergraduate Women's Studies Program. Goetsch, Lori A. Higher Education Institutional Libraries Librarians Library Instruction Library Services Undergraduate Students Undergraduate Study User Needs (Information) Womens Studies One of the aims of the Women's Studies Program at Michigan State University (East Lansing) is to augment undergraduate major programs by introducing the experiences of women into the various disciplines and involving students in inter-disciplinary studies. The College of Arts and Letters (ATL) offers a special topic course called "Women in America" which enrolls over 800 students every year in a three-term sequence that culminates in a research paper. Library instruction for ATL is the responsibility of the library information/reference department, which offers sessions in the library during the "research term" of the three-term sequence, to provide instruction in research strategies. During the instruction sessions, students are introduced to feminist issues. The success of the sessions has led to a three credit hour course, "Bibliographic Methods for Women's Studies Research." The structure for the instructional design and the methods used for each element of the learning model are provided in this course development description. (NL)
