Library Skills Workbook. A Self-Paced Workbook. Revised Edition.
Ware, Susan A.
Designed to acquaint Pennsylvania State University students at the Delaware County Campus with the facilities and resources of their library, this workbook on library skills is designed for use with English 15, and its mandatory completion is incorporated into the final course grade. It is organized into exercises dealing with types of materials rather than by area of the library. Each exercise has an introductory section explaining the materials covered, followed by a set of questions to be answered individually by students. Specific areas covered include dictionaries, encyclopedias, Library of Congress subject headings, the online catalog LIAS (Library Information Access System), book review indexes, biographies, the Library of Congress classification system, periodical indexes, the periodical holdings list, newspaper indexes, almanacs and statistical sources, government documents, formats for citing materials in bibliographies, and a checklist for developing a search strategy. Floor plans and examples of index entries and online catalog displays are included. Student assignments at the end of each section have been updated. (KM)
