Information Literacy Instruction Theory and Practice

This cutting-edge work is destined to become a seminal text. Written by two academic library leaders, it is a thorough, in-depth discussion of both the theory and practice of library instruction. Chapters cover the history and background of user education in libraries; the psychology of learning as applied to library teaching; conceptual models for teaching critical thinking; program management, planning, and politics (on and off-campus); assessment and evaluation; designing and developing print and electronic teaching materials; classroom management and teaching techniques; learning technology; visions for the future and much more. The CD includes tables describing various instructional modes, an interactive database to aid in selecting among them, handouts and more.Grassian, Esther S. is the author of 'Information Literacy Instruction Theory and Practice' with ISBN 9781555704063 and ISBN 1555704069.
