Recensioner i media

Most librarians are not exposed to learning and development theory in school, and yet these theories are an important foundation to practice, especially in user services. This book provides readers with an overview of some of the most relevant theories, presented in accessible language and with solid examples, and scenarios that demonstrate how to translate the theory into practice. This would be a handy book for reference and instruction professionals, as well as LIS students interested in user services.
