Beskrivning

This easy-to-use book is an invaluable source of inspiration for any librarian involved in teaching information literacy, providing practical guidance on tried and tested ideas and techniques for sessions. The role of the librarian increasingly involves delivering information literacy using a range of teaching methods, from delivering induction sessions to informal one-to-one support on a day-to-day basis. Although this is increasingly recognized, many practitioners do not have teaching qualifications and are often left to fulfil a role for which they feel ill-equipped. Even when they do have teaching qualifications, these are often gained from mainstream courses that do not always adequately address the delivery of information literacy. This book is a much-needed sourcebook to support library staff in the delivery of information literacy teaching, whether they are new to teaching or experienced but in search of fresh ideas. Full of hints and tips grounded in learning theory, it is a practical reference tool designed to be dipped into as needed when planning teaching and training. Where applicable the activities are mapped to models of information literacy, with guidance on adapting ideas for different levels and contexts. Advice is given on activities in the following areas:designing sessionspreparing sessionsdelivering sessionsdifferent types of sessionsteaching by topic creating teaching / support materialsassessing learningevaluating teaching sessionse-learning. Readership: Any librarian involved with teaching information literacy and LIS students.

Recensioner i media

Whilst acknowledging the proliferation of existing and emerging books or chapters about information literacy, British co-authors Blanchett, Powis and Webb have deliberately set out to publish a different kind of compilation, specifically ‘a series of hints and tips, together with some best practice guidelines’. They have succeeded in this, acknowledging input from many colleagues based at De Montfort and Northamption universities, JISC Netskills and elsewhere...All told, this is a great collection for advancing librarians’ teaching repertoires. Its utility is strengthened by both the brevity of individual entries and the span of practical issues covered.
