Bringing together material from doctoral dissertations, academic and professional journals, and other writings of scholars and practitioners, Thomas presents us with an excellent review of the literature on information skills instruction and a meta-analysis of the research done in bibliographic instruction, literacy skills instruction, and learning styles. Current trends, issues, and themes in the information skills curriculum are discussed along with applications of the research. Designed to be used in information skills instruction classes for school media specialists, this valuable text will also be a useful training tool for academic librarians conducting bibliographic instruction in school libraries. It is an essential professional resource for school media specialists.
