106 The University of California Libraries bring the library into the role of a more active participant in the instructional process." 10 The success of this method and the enthu- siasm with which the classes have been received appear to result from two sources: first, classes "provide an effective way for covering a lot of material for a lot of students" who cannot be reached as well otherwise, and secondly, the classroom format is a familiar one to students: "classes are, after all, the principal effort of most academic institutions, students are accustomed to learning in this way, and courses provide a structure and sequence for the learning activity that differs materially" 11 from the orientation and point- of-use instruction methods mentioned earlier. The University of California libraries have been particularly aware of, and concerned about, the need for such instruction, and within the last few years formal courses have been established in one form or another on almost every campus. As of 1977, the situation, by campus, is as follows: Berkeley. Bibliography I, a course sponsored by the UC Berkeley School of Library and Information Studies, is the largest and oldest program in the system. Pre-enrollment for the fall of 1976 numbered almost 900 students, of whom approximately 369 were accommodated in 16 sections. Davis. A three-unit course entitled "Introduction to Library Research and Bibliography," developed by the library staff and sponsored by the English Department, is taught by four librarians in two sections. In addition, a course entitled "Biomedical Information Retrieval" has been offered since 1967 by the Health Sciences Library staff. Irvine. A two-unit course called "Biblio-strategy," developed and taught by librarians and sponsored by the Humanities Department, is in its third quarter. 10 This is also a recommendation of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, as pointed out in the Final Report of the LAUC Committee on Library and Bibliographic Instruction, from which the quotation is taken (p. 4). 11 Final Report of the LAUC Committee, p. 2.
VII. Information and Instruction 107 Los Angeles. A new four-unit course entitled "Information Resources and Libraries" is sponsored by the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, and was developed jointly by the Library and the School. Riverside. The Riverside libraries provide lectures on request from the faculty in various subject fields, and these requests have mushroomed in recent years. One librarian also teaches a four-unit course for the Music Department. San Diego. A two-unit course in an interdisciplinary sequence called "Contemporary Issues" is taught by librarians, and has been very successful. San Francisco. A librarian teaches a two-unit course for the Department of the History of Health Sciences called "Introduction to the History and Bibliography of the Health Sciences." Santa Barbara. A two-unit course in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program is taught by librarians, and other librarians give subject bibliography courses in such fields as chemistry, music, and political science. Santa Cruz. The library is offering a new series of seminars, but they are not given for credit, since all courses at Santa Cruz are five-unit courses and the library has been unable to provide instructors for the amount of time a five-unit course would require. Although the courses mentioned are very popular with the students who take them, their creation has not been without administrative problems. In the first place, only Berkeley and Los Angeles have library schools, so for the other seven campuses there has been the often difficult task of finding an academic home for the courses. On some campuses, particular departments have been sensitive to the need, and accommodated it by designating librarians as "lecturers" or "associates" in those departments; on other campuses, providing such arrangements has been difficult. Although librarians teach as a part of their regular duties in many universities throughout the country, University of California librarians are not members of the Academic Senate and hence cannot be given normal teaching status or titles; on some campuses, in fact, they are not allowed even to assign grades to
