The purpose of this bibliographic instruction package is to help a non-library instructor prepare undergraduate students to find biographical information about an author, historical information on the period when the author lived or the time period he/she wrote about, and literary criticism about the author's work. The scope of instruction is limited to prose. The package is divided into two episodes which can be presented in one class session. Episode I introduces students to the different forms of literature. Episode II teaches students how to locate library materials by using the card catalog, indexes, and reference books. The package includes summaries and lists of objectives for each episode, a materials list showing all transparencies and handouts for the training session, and a suggested script for the conduct of the session. For the student, the package provides paper copies of transparencies used by the instructor; these cover information searching procedures, forms of literature, catalog filing rules, and the "MLA (Modern Language Association) Bibliography." Also included are copies of transparencies showing a search log form and a checklist of questions for evaluating indexes and abstracts. An annotated bibliography of reference sources for literary research and a literature research exercise conclude the instruction packet. (ESR)
