Teaching the use of information resources (TUIR) and the schools of librarianship

Replies to a short questionnaire sent to the 18 schools of librarianship and information studies in the British Isles indicate that most schools include short or long units on teaching the use of information resources in their courses, or integrate TUIR into broader subject areas. Arguments for and against TUIR are noted. The future development of TUIR may lie in the wider area of cooperation in the development of independent learning skills.
