Book Description

…Material presented here is replete with concrete new ideas not only for collaboration, but also for funding, training, personal involvement, Web-based instruction, and other concepts too numerous to mention. And the best thing about these ideas is that they are not the usual endlessly-discussed theories—these are ideas that have worked—and some which have failed—in the real world…Despite the myriad new works available today related to library instruction in general and information literacy in particular, none is devoted solely to collaborative efforts between teaching faculty and librarians. This is where Library User Education: Powerful Learning, Powerful Partnerships shines—just as in the real world, its all about collaboration. —Angela Weiler, Portal

Editorial Reviews

Review

The chapter authors reveal strategies to free libraries to harness the future.

A useful snapshot of where library user education stands at the turning of the century, and where it might be headed in the next decade or so…a handy book to have around.

Despite the myriad new books available today related to library instruction in general and information literacy in particular, none is devoted solely to collaborative efforts between teaching faculty and librarians. This is where Library User Education: Powerful Learning, Powerful Partnerships shines―just as in the real world, it”s all about collaboration.

…indispensable volume of papers…This collection advances significantly our understanding of the current “state of the art” in campus collaborations and partnerships in building dynamic information literacy programs…The richness of thought brought to bear upon instructional, programmatic, and institutional challenges is compelling.
