Burdick emphasizes the impor­ tance of information skills instruction that develops both ability (i.e., knowledge and skills) and desire (i.e., motivation).19 http:motivation).19 http:legally.18 http:courses.15 http:learning.14 http:skills.13 http:dents.12 98 College & Research Libraries March 2004	cache/crl-15648.pdf	txt/crl-15648.txt
