- Meeting the Competitive Challenge: Encouraging the Use of Community College Library Facilities in Rural, Isolated, Northeastern Arizona. Rothlisberg, Allen P. American Indians College Libraries Community Colleges Decentralization Incentives Learning Resources Centers Library Instruction Library Services Rural Areas School Community Relationship Student Motivation Student Research Two Year Colleges This paper describes the approaches taken to improve library service at Northland Pioneer College, a decentralized community college in rural Arizona with learning resource centers at 10 locations in Navaho and Apache counties. Three methods of providing instruction for research papers--class tours of learning resource facilities, presenting guest lectures on writing research papers, and a one-credit class on research paper writing--are discussed. Incentives arranged in cooperation with local merchants to encourage quality student work are described, e.g., free pizzas and video rentals, and the particular effectiveness of such incentives in a rural area is considered. Copies of fliers promoting the incentive program and listing rules for student participation are attached. (Contains 9 references.) (MES)
