As librarians we all struggle with the limited time and opportunities to teach information literacy skills. In a concise format this book provides some fresh ideas and ways of approaching library instruction. It takes much from the recent literature on active learning and suggests how these approaches can be easily incorporated. The authors talk about moving away from teaching content towards getting students to make progress with certain threshold concepts. Highly recommended quick read for anyone does IL instruction.
It truly is a survival guide! It works for hard working library folks who are suddenly called on to give a one-shot preview of term projects to bored students who haven't yet received their assignment from the professor, who might not even be in the class that day!
I find it very helpful. I implemented one idea for a discussion of scholarly vs trade vs newspaper articles - having them find & read 3-4 articles of their choice prior to class - and it went very well. I'm going to try the idea of handing out colored index cards to students as a way of getting immediate feedback without using software such as Poll Everywhere. I liked this book so much after reading the library's copy that I'm going to buy it.I will ask my library school student workers to read it - it's not enough for a textbook, but it will give them some good ideas for the one-shot classes they teach for me.
Useful book with applications well beyond library sciences.
Too basic to be useful.
