Practical guides for librarians

by Dave Harmeyer, Janice J. Baskin, Trudi E. Jacobson Distinguished Librarian and Head of the Information Literacy Department Universit (Foreword)

Implementing the Information Literacy A Practical Guide for Librarians is written with three types of people in librarians, classroom educators, and students. This book and its website address the implementation of the Association of College and Research Libraries’ Framework of Information Literacy in Higher Education. One of the few books written jointly by an academic librarian and a classroom faculty member, Implementing the Information Literacy Framework packs dozens of how-to ideas and strategies into ten chapters specifically intended for librarians and classroom instructors.

If you have been waiting for a no-nonsense, carefully explained, yet practical source for implementing the Framework, this book is for you, your colleagues, and your students, all in the context of a discipline-specific, equal collaboration between the library liaison and classroom educator. Implementing the Information Literacy Framework gives you the tools and strategies to put into practice a host of Framework-based information literacy experiences for students and faculty, creating a campus culture that understands and integrates information literacy into its educational mission.

This book gave a terrific overview of the history of information literacy. There were many examples of lesson plans that Librarians can suggest to faculty members which helps immensely. The Six Framework sections of Information Literacy are explains in vast detail and are easy to follow. By the time that you are finished with the book, you will know the six frameworks by heart. The Appendixes also contained great summaries of the framework along with handouts and bookmarks that the librarians can give to the Faculty when explaining to them what information literacy framework is all about. Overall, I would high recommend anyone going into the library profession or teaching profession to read this book. It will give you some great insight on how to create your lesson plans.
