kenjariHow to Teach: A Practical Guide for Librarians
by Beverley E. Crane
This book is pretty basic compared to some of the others I've read on library instruction, but it is very clear and well-written. It's real strength is that is covers just about every instructional scenario a librarian could have to deal with: one-shot sessions, face to face courses, online courses both synchronous and asynchronous, blended classes, and self-paced instructional materials. It's good one stop shopping to get the basics on how to do all of these, plus provides an overview of learning theories and basic teaching techniques. It would be a great place to start for librarians just starting out with teaching.
