Information Literacy Instruction: Theory and Practice (Information Literacy Sourcebooks)
In 2001 Grassian and Kaplowitz published the first edition of their popular guide, Information Literacy Instruction: Theory and Practice. Like its predecessor, this new edition is designed for anyone involved in the creation and management of information literacy programming. Sixteen well-written chapters, organized into five sections, provide both theory and practical applications, with the emphasis on the practical. The typical chapter includes a thorough overview along with numerous charts, exercises, and suggestions for additional reading. Several extras appear in the accompanying CD-ROM, including hundreds of suggestions for additional reading based on all 16 chapters and various sample documents. Although the authors describe this new edition as the second in a two-part publication—the first part being their 2005 book, Learning to Lead and Manage Information Literacy Instruction—it can stand on its own. A timely, thorough, and endlessly useful must-have title for libraries, teaching librarians, and library schools. --Catherine Collins--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
