Teachers and Library Awareness: Using Bibliographic Instruction in Teacher Preparation Programs Available to Purchase

Librarians working in public service posts are well aware that students possess varying levels of library skills. High school librarians bemoan the fact that students seem to have learned little about libraries during their elementary school years, college librarians bemoan secondary level preparation, and all librarians wonder at the assignments students bring with them. The assignments seem to range from trivia quizzes to inappropriately advanced research tasks, and, inevitably, the students seem to lack complete information and adequate direction.
