Introduction
The title of this record reflects the evolving conceptualization and names
of what began a generation ago as "library orientation". Today, the word
"library" -- as in library literacy -- is giving way to
"information" in order to encompass the Web. And some institutions and individuals
are striving to move beyond "information" -- toward knowledge -- by applying the
phrase "critical reasoning skills" to their teaching efforts.
The Library Orientation Series covers it all.
