Why not take the time while you are at­ te n d in g ALA M idw inter to visit beautiful Boulder? Downtown Denver, where you will be staying, is only some 25 miles away. We invite you to visit the Boulder campus of the University of Colorado. We will be glad to ar­ range cam pus tours and will be pleased to have you visit Norlin (our central library) and any of th e branches—E arth Science, Engi­ neering, Math/Physics, Law, Music, or Busi­ ness. There are other libraries in Boulder that you may also wish to visit: the library at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis­ tration (NOAA), or the National C enter for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), w here you will have a magnificent view of th e entire Boulder area. If you wish to shop, you may want to visit the Pearl Street Mall with its many interest­ ing and unique shops (including bookstores). It is easy to get to Boulder. If you are driv­ ing, get directions from your hotel to north­ bound 1-25, which you will take to the well- marked Boulder exit (Colorado Highway 36). Or, take the Regional Transportation District (RTD) bus (ph. 778-6000) to Boulder, which costs $1.75 one way and takes approximately 45 minutes. Get off at Broadway and Regent Drive to visit the university. If you need additional information, call my office (492-7511, a local call from Denver) and we will do our best to help you.—Clyde C.

Im m ediately it became one of ACRL’s largest and most active sections, a reflection of the growth and develop­ m ent experienced within bibliographic instruction itself. At its preconference in July, 1981, a Think Tank of “first generation” bibliographic instruc­ tion librarians* was organized to discuss the pres­ ent state and future direction of what now may be considered the bibliographic instruction move­ ment. The result of the Think Tank’s deliberations is a series of recommendations for the “second gen­ eratio n ” of bibliographic instruction librarians, which is h ere presented. It is not intended to be a definitive statem ent of all issues facing instruc­ tion theorists and librarians; rather it focuses on what th e Think Tank m em bers agreed are the most pressing issues facing bibliographic instruc­ tion as it moves into what is expected to be a pe- * P aula W alker, U n iv ersity of W ashington; Carla Stoffle, University of Wisconsin-Parkside; Anne Roberts, State University of New York at Albany; Brian Nielsen, Northwestern University; Donald K enney, Virginia Polytechnic In stitu te and State University; Frances Hopkins, Temple U niversity; and Joanne E u ste r, San Francisco State University, facilitator. riod of maturation. There are two recurring them es in the docu­ ment: 1) “building bridges”—to the rest of the profession, to the larger academic community, and the library schools— and 2) consolidating the discipline by fostering research, publication, criti­ cal analysis, and developm ent of an underlying pedagogy of bibliographic instruction. It is the hope of the Think Tank members that by sharing th e ir deliberations and conclusions, th e ir work will stimulate widespread discussion and contrib­ ute to the growth of bibliographic instruction and to the increase in the quality of library service to the academic community. I. Integration of Bibliographic Instruction into the Library Profession The Think Tank members viewed bibliographic instruction as a client-centered approach to li­ brary service which has implications for the re­ design of all library activities. They rejected the traditional notion of th e academic library as a m ere adjunct to the education program, which led to th e establishm ent of a type of reference service borrowed almost unconsciously from the public library model. They rejected as well the n o tio n of th e lib ra ry -c o lle g e , in w hich th e academic library loses its special identity within
