Reflective Teaching, Effective Learning: Instructional Literacy for Library Educators

摘要

Librarians of all stripes are regularly thrust into the position of teaching and training their users, colleagues, and peers, regardless of whether "instruction" appears in their job title or description. For many, this is a challenging aspect of day-to-day work since librarians are often not grounded in educational theories or instructional design principles during their LIS education. In her book, Reflective Teaching, Effective Learning: Instructional Literacy for Library Educators, Char Booth, Instruction Services Manager & E-Learning Librarian at the Claremont Colleges Library, as well as ACRL Immersion faculty member, aims to bolster the instructional confidence of novice librarians and others involved in library instruction and staff training by offering clear-cut strategies for designing engaging and learner-centered instructional messages and experiences.
