Release Date: 2016-11-16
The sheer amount of resources on the subject of information literacy is staggering. Yet a comprehensive but concise roadmap specifically for librarians who are new to instruction, or who are charged with training someone who is, has remained elusive. Until now. This book cuts through the jargon and rhetoric to ease the transition into library instruction, offering support to all those involved, including library supervisors, colleagues, and trainees. Grounded in research on teaching and learning from numerous disciplines, not just library literature, this book shows how to set up new instruction librarians for success, with advice on completing an environmental scan, strategies for recruiting efficiently, and a training checklist; walks readers step by step through training a new hire or someone new to instruction, complete with hands-on activities and examples; explores the different roles an instruction librarian is usually expected to play, such as educator, project manager, instructional designer, and teaching partner; demonstrates the importance of performance evaluation and management, including assessment and continuing education, both formal and informal; and provides guided reading lists for further in-depth study of a topic. A starter kit for librarians new to instruction, this resource will be useful for training coordinators as well as for self-training.

The New Instruction Librarian
Written by a team of library instructors whose "experience and expertise in this field is evident throughout" (VOYA), this one-stop starter kit has been praised as "a solid overview of academic instruction librarianship for both supervisors and novices" (Library Journal). Now the authors have updated it to better address differing perspectives and experiences in librarianship while thoroughly reflecting the significant ways in which the field has changed since the book's first edition in 2016. Easing the transition into library instruction while supporting all those involved, including supervisors, colleagues, and trainees, this hands-on workbook incorporates research on teaching and learning from numerous disciplines, including but not limited to library literature, that has been sharpened and refreshed for this edition; guides readers through training a new colleague or someone new to instruction, complete with reflection questions, sample lesson pans, activities, and advice from experts throughout the field; explores the different roles an instruction librarian is usually expected to play, such as colleague, instructional designer, teaching partner, advocate, project manager, and learner; adopts a person-centered approach to the role, with new chapters on critical information literacy and sustainable practices; and provides tips on self-assessment, self-care, resiliency, and continuing education, both formal and informal, to set readers on a successful path of teaching, learning, and professional growth.
