The proposed guidelines are intended to promote student-oriented bibliographic instruction programs on college campuses. We hope the guidelines will suggest opportunities for faculty, librarians, and professional associations to collaborate in developing materials and programs that will help students learn to make effective use of library resources. We also hope that the proposed guidelines will be further developed by major professional associations. We believe that the guidelines, backed by professional associations, will encourage the development of meaningful bibliographic instruction programs in college and research libraries.
