ABSTRACT
This article evolved from “Getting Students to NOTIS,” a presentation that the author gave at the 1995 Chicago NOTIS Users Group Meeting (NUGM) conference. Humor is a desirable element of all types of instruction, particularly bibliographic instruction. A good method for injecting some humor into bibliographic instruction is introducing whimsical catalog entries. The author identifies five types of bibliographic records useful for this approach, provides strategies for locating them, and suggests ways to incorporate them into a class.
