Transforming Information Literacy Programs: Intersecting Frontiers of Self, Library Culture, and Campus Community

Publications in Librarianship #64

by Carroll Wetzel Wilkinson (Editor), Courtney Bruch (Editor)

The book raises a broad scope of themes including the intellectual, psychological, cultural, definitional and structural issues that academic instruction librarians face in higher education environments. The chapters in this book represent the voices of eight instruction librarians, including two Immersion faculty members. Other perspectives come from a library dean, a library school faculty member, a library coordinator of school library media certification programs, and a director emerita from a School of Education.

[Samantha Hines · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very insightful and critical look at how we do IL and what might need to change. It would be interesting to see an update of this dealing with the Framework instead of the Standards.
