Consequently major changes must be made in training students for reference work in medical and other scientific libraries. MEDLINE use has been an integral part of our medical literature course at the University of Maryland for six classes during the past three years. Not only has it been possible for students to use the terminal by themselves with a minimum of introduction, but they learn a great deal from the experience. We cannot quantify their learning because we do not wish to control a study by denying part of a class the experience of using a major medical reference tool. However, for those who are interested in using similar techniques, we should like to describe what we have done and to give some figures on the amount of terminal time involved.","PeriodicalId":256869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education for librarianship","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133311281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Library schools, though somewhat behind the trend, are still no strangers to this phenomenon which during the past year has produced stormy sessions at the American Library Association annual meeting, and at those of several state and other associations. It is not our purpose here to treat all aspects of the problem, but rather to focus attention upon one feature of many accredited library school curricula which is beginning to receive more concerted attention by students. Not a few brickbat broadsides have been leveled at the Comprehensive Examination, its concept and its administration.

Four introductory \"core\" courses gave way to a single team-taught course which, in turn, was replaced by the present \"directed independent study\" approach. In its present form, the fundamentals course consists of a series of modules. For each module the student receives a minitext, a set of readings and a workbook. The student is to study the text and readings and complete the workbook assignments related to this module. The student passes the course when all component modules are completed to the satisfaction of the student's faculty advisor. In this course the faculty member becomes largely a \"resource\" to help students master the material. This paper discusses the reasons for abandoning the earlier methods and describes the evolution of the present format. The course, as it exists today, is described and its advantages and limitations are presented.","PeriodicalId":256869,"journal":{"name":"Journal of education for librarianship","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134437169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The over-all percentage of faculty members with doctorates increased from 32. 1 percent in 1960 to 65.9 percent in 1978. The largest over-all gain was made at the assistant professor level. Although women have made a more spectacular gain in the percentage of doctorates held than men, men throughout the period have held a larger percentage of doctorates than women. Women in 1960 filled a majority of the positions in the accredited schools. Men constituted a majority in the 1978-79 academic year.

The results of the survey identified a variety of philosophies, goals, and practices. Three major educational patterns are discussed: the \"Single Online Course\" approach, the \"Large Component\" approach, and the \"Integrated\" approach. Although most educators favor an integrated approach as an eventual goal, very few schools follow this pattern in practice today.
