Bibliographic Instruction

Bibliographic Instruction (BI) is a service provided by Libraries and Instructional Media Services librarians at the request of a College of The Bahamas instructor. Its purpose is to help students learn how to utilize library resources more effectively and efficiently in studying, conducting research and in writing papers.

BI works best when it is presented in conjunction with an instructor's specific assignment so that the librarian can focus the instruction on abstracts, indexes, electronic resources, and other types of information materials that are used in the research and writing process.

Faculty should complete the > Bibliographic Instruction Request Form and submit it to the Reference Librarian. This form must be submitted at least ONE WEEK prior to the requested date for instruction.

A typical presentation lasts for approximately 45 minutes. The instructor is expected to be present at the session. Multiple sessions to cover extensive topics can be arranged. Please fill out one form for each instruction session requested.
