ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 388 / C&RL News ■ May 1999 College & Research Libraries news Dusty old books A collaborative approach to bibliographic instruction by Scott McLaren I f you’re like most academic librarians, you probably don’t think a 300-year-old book has much to do with the modem techniques of bibliographic instruction. Earlier this year I de­ cided to take a large folio printed in London in 1694 to a bibliographic instruction class for first- year students. And the results were quite sur­ prising. But what, you will ask, possessed me to do such a strange thing in the first place? A few weeks before the class in question, I attended a workshop sponsored by The Center for the Support of Teaching at York University. I was the only librarian present. And I learned a lot. Two benefits I took away two things. First, a consolation. Second, a chal­ lenge. My consolation came when I learned that the struggles librarians face when trying to offer good biblio­ graphic instruction are not unique. Teaching assistants and professors struggle with the same problems! For instance, how can an instructor maintain students’ interest, especially when the subject matter (like research methods) seems to be intrinsically boring? How can an instructor be sure that he or she is actually getting through to the students in the class? What teaching mod­ els can be adopted that will encourage a stu­ dent to participate in class and thereby enhance not only his or her own learning experience, but that of the class as a whole? How can tech­ nology be incorporated into the classroom and how can instructors convey to students when Internet technology is appropriate to use as a research tool? How can an instructor experi­ ment with the class and at the same time main­ tain his or her integrity as an instructor? All this came as a consolation inasmuch as it un­ derlined that librarians are not alone. The second and perhaps more important benefit came in the form of a challenge. Every­ one present agreed that the real key to success in the classroom lay in the magic of enthusi­ asm. If students couldn’t get enthusiastic about the topic, all was lost. General methods for fos­ tering such enthusiasm were suggested. For in­ stance, a collaborative rather than a lecture-style session could help students take own­ ership of the course content and thereby build an interest and enthusiasm for what was being discussed. Caring was Tamara Ohr-Campbell suggested as a second impor­ tant principle for getting the students to fall under the spell of learning. If students can be convinced that the instructor cares about the topic and the quality of their learning experience, a new milestone will have been reached: If they think you care about them, they might just start to care about them­ selves. All that is fine for a professor in a lecture hall or a teaching assistant in the classroom, since students come back again and again dur­ ing the course of a year. They have time to build relationships and distribute readings ahead of time, which will foster collaborative learning About the author Scott McLaren is a reference librarian at York University in Toronto, e-mail: scottm@yorku.ca mailto:scottm@yorku.ca C& RL N e w s ■ M a y 1 9 9 9 / 3 8 9 . . . t h e u n iv e r s it y e n v ir o n m e n t is h o s t ile t o c o n s u m e r is m .

Earlier this year I de­cided to take a large folio printed in London in 1694 to a bibliographic instruction class for first- year students. And the results were quite sur­prising.But what, you will ask, possessed me to do such a strange thing in the first place? A few weeks before the class in question, I attended a workshop sponsored by The Center for Internet technology is appropriate to use as a research tool? How can an instructor experi­ment with the class and at the same time main­tain his or her integrity as an instructor? All this came as a consolation inasmuch as it un­derlined that librarians are not alone.The second and perhaps more important benefit came in the form of a challenge.

After all, isn’t teaching someone how to use a catalog an everything I could to get them interested in their own budding academic careers. Maybe I was overstepping my jurisdiction. Some of my li­brarian colleagues suggested as much to me. But I had determined to let the professor, and espe­cially the students, be the judges of that.When I opened the door the professor was standing behind the podium and waving her arms through the air in mid-sentence. What­ever point she was making was lost on me. I couldn’t hear much above the sound of my own heart. After a few mi 390 / C&RL News ■ May 1999 going to write papers.
