kenjariInformation Literacy Instruction That Works
edited by Patrick Ragains
This is the second of the books on library instruction that I am reading for work. In this particular volume, each chapter covers a specific topic and is written by an expert in that bit of librarianship. Thus, I did not read the whole book, just the sections that were relevant to the work I will be doing in the fall: planning instruction session, faculty collaborations, teaching undergraduates, teaching students with disabilities, online and distance learning, and the section on instruction for music programs.
Information Literacy Instruction That Works is very practical and direct, concentrating on what to do and how to do it rather than educational theory. There are lots of sample lesson plans, syllabi, etc, which is perfect for me, as I often do well with an example to work from. All of the chapters I read were very clearly written and well organized. I especially liked the annotated list of resources in the music section, and the excellent coverage of some of the unique aspects of music materials. I will likely be referring to this book as I delve more into doing library instruction.
