Teachers in all content areas can help support students' information literacy by infusing bibliographic instruction into research-based classroom assignments and projects. As our culture becomes increasingly digital and electronic resources continue to grow in number, it is most beneficial for students to receive bibliographic instruction in the early elementary years and to be held accountable for understanding information retrieval at a young age.

The amount and variety of information resources available to library users can be overwhelming at times. If the general public has some basic knowledge about information retrieval and evaluating and properly utilizing resources, the research process becomes far less tedious much more efficient.

What is the role of the reference librarian in providing bibliographic instruction and supporting information literacy?

# data[].attributes.body
The reference librarian should be prepared to offer patrons assistance and instruction regarding information retrieval and use. This should be done informally, when helping individual patrons with their research needs, and it should be done formally through workshops and LibGuides created and provided by librarians. These types of instructional efforts contribute to a growing population of "information literate" students and library users.

The terminology has changed over time as the onus has shifted somewhat from the librarian to the library user. Librarians still have the responsibility of helping patrons locate resources, but the ALA believes that the general public has an obligation to learn how to use search tools in order to "fully participate in the information society" (Bopp & Smith, 2011). In other words, people should not rely solely on bibliographic instruction to boost information literacy. Everyone should take an active role in educating themselves about available resources and appropriate uses of those resources.

Information literacy focuses more on allowing the patron to take ownership of the information retrieval process.  A person who is "information literate" has the skills to determine what she is looking for, where she should look, and how she can best utilize the information once she locates it.   Users become more "information literate" as they receive bibliographic instruction over time.

Bibliographic instruction deals with helping patrons find and use information.  It is, in short, the process of teaching people how to retrieve information and use it for a given purpose (Bopp & Smith, 2011).
