Library Skills for Teachers: A Self-Paced Workbook.
Mech, Terrence
Designed to introduce education students to the basic library resources in the field, this self-paced workbook assumes a basic knowledge of the library and its resources. Each section in the eight-chapter workbook discusses a particular type of reference material and sample entries are provided when appropriate. Eleven assignments (two multiple choice questions each except for three on government publications) relate to the various topics covered. Topics covered include: (1) research strategy; (2) specialized encyclopedias; (3) Library of Congress subject headings; (4) the Education Index; (5) the ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center) system; (6) Psychological Abstracts; (7) government publications; and (8) DIALOG. The 23 multiple choice questions covered in the 11 assignments are included together with an answer key. (THC)
