Learning the Library: Taxonomy of Skills and Errors.

Jakobovits, Leon A.; Nahl-Jakobovits, Diane

College and Research Libraries, v48 n3 p203-14 May 1987

A theoretical scheme classifies user behavior into three domains of library activity--affective, cognitive, and psychomotor--and three levels of learning--orientation, interaction, and internalization. Examples of library skills and errors in each of the nine major classes are given, and applications to library instruction are suggested. (Author/CLB)
