Abstract

This paper reports on a study currently underway, exploring the use of information behavior theory in basic master’s level courses in reference and information services. The study reported is the third phase of a project which previously examined course syllabi and assigned textbooks, and interviewed course instructors. In the third phase, an online census survey of course instructors at American Library Association-accredited Library and Information Science programs seeks to confirm the findings of the previous interview phase. The conference presentation will focus on presentation of survey results in the context of data from the first two phases, and their implications for education of librarians who provide reference and information services.
