Running Backwards from the Finish Line: A New Concept for Bibliographic Instruction

INTHIS ARTICLE, WE SUGGEST a means of developing a more secure foundation for a theory of bibliographic instruction (BI). Three forms of inquiry-research, reading, and writing-are presented as interdependent and inseparable. Up to now, BI’s theoretical underpinnings have been too limited. This discussion argues that BI theory should incorporate schema theory, composition theory, and discipline-specific vocabularies. Attention is also given to the idea of the bibliographic citation as a concept symbol.
