ABSTRACT

The intent of this paper is to reinforce and demonstrate the necessity for: (1) integrating instruction into the research process; (2) achieving a balance between faculty, students, and the library to meet that goal. This goal can only be met by addressing a number of issues that have traditionally been associated with the instrinsic value of BI integration into a curriculum, the institution’s support for this move, and the attitudes of faculty and librarians toward BI, and the strengths which each can bring to the research process to benefit students.
