A Century of Bibliographic Instruction: The Historical Claim to Professional and Academic Legitimacy	1982-05-01	7	.pdf	application/pdf	4429	216	48	It argues that BI in academic libraries and the reference desk in public libraries were both initiated to foster independent learning by unsophisticated users; that BI, introduced by scholar-librarians in the 1870s, could not be sustained by the semiclerical graduates of early library schools and was consequently displaced by the reference desk, and that improved training and status for li- brarians contributed to the BI renaissance of the 1960s. 11 Public libraries had a concern for the needs of unsophisticated users similar to the academic librarians' concern for stu- dents, and the idea of having a librarian at a visible desk to give ad hoc responses to indi- vidual users' questions was gradually adopted into academic libraries.	cache/crl-13800.pdf	txt/crl-13800.txt
