A case library is a collection of historical cases or stories arranged in such as way as to allow access to cases that are relevant to the user at a particular time(Kolodner, 1993). The rationale is that providing stories(cases) of other people's experiences helps students fill in where their own experience is deficient(Schank, 1990; Kolodner, 1993). Learning from historical cases occurs two ways :comparison/reconciliation and comparison/reasoning. 6, record 1, English, - case%20library
