Emphasizing journal literature from the late 1800's to the mid-1930's, this chronologically-arranged compilation annotates articles about library instruction in colleges, universities, and schools of teacher education in the United States. It provides access to secondary materials for historians and librarians interested in academic library development and, more specifically, the origins and growth of library instruction. The introduction specifies the criteria used in the selection of entries, and both author and subject indexes are provided. An institution index identifies schools whose programs were described in many of the entries, as well as those institutions which responded to a questionnaire distributed by Henry R. Evans in 1914 but which are not mentioned in any other source. (Author/FM)
