The creative evolution of library instruction

Academic library instructional services and practices have continually evolved in response to trends within the library, on campus, and in higher education. The introduction of computers, and most notably the Internet, sparked changes in what, how, and where library skills were taught. In this article, Dupuis discusses the adaptation of our instructional programs as we gained experience with the maturing, new technology and as variables in our environment changed. She encourages librarians to refocus on the students, who themselves will be a defining force in the next phase of the evolution of teaching and learning.
